Bug Description
No matter if the user sets the preferences to "run based on preferences" or "suspend" or the network activity to "network activity based on preferences" or "network activity suspended" upon a reboot the gui will default the selection indicated by the radial icons in the activity menu to "run always" and "network activity always available".
This defaulting to always running defeats the ability to set preferences to restrict activity by time of day, % cpu, memory, etc use thus severely impacting the user experience in a negative way.
Expected behavior would be to default to "run based on preferences" and "network activity based on preferences" and if a user selects a different choice from the list that the choice is retained upon reboot.

The client should already start on boot.
Are you saying that the manager starts the client and then changes the defaults?
