Public bug reported:

In Kubuntu 19.10 (and likely Kubuntu 20.04), why is KDEConnect not listed as a 
Background Service here?:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/FtRl2.jpg

Run this command in Kubuntu 19.10:
lsof -i

You'll see that KDEConnect is listening on UDP 1716 and TCP 1716.

I want to prevent KDEConnect from running each time I reboot my
computer, because I do not use this service and I do not appreciate
unused services that run each time my computer starts (especially ones
that hide themselves from official lists like that of Startup Services
-- screenshot linked above).

What is so special about KDEConnect that it should run all the time,
whether you need it or not (and without the GUI-level-ability to toggle
it off)?

Is this something that can be addressed before Kubuntu 20.04 is
released?
