openOnStart is ignored on ZorinOS

[simonl65]

Please provide a clear and concise description of the bug along with logs

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

1. Ensure settings include the following:

  "micropico.manualComDevice": "/dev/ttyACM0",
  "micropico.syncAllFileTypes": true,
  "micropico.openOnStart": false,
  "micropico.autoConnect": false,

2. Start VSCode
3. Wait for extensions to start

What happens?

MicroPico REPL opens

What were you expecting to happen?

No REPL and no connection to any device (since we have openOnStart and autoConnect set false)

Any logs, error output, etc?

Any other comments?

The same happens if I disable all extensions except for MicroPico.

Which version of MicroPico are you using?
