I have a small issue with the Steam client

Hello
sometimes,or most of the times,when launching Steam,it shows in the Panel but i can’t see it on my desktop even when right clicking and choosing library etc.

the only solution is to choose big picture mode,then in this mode choose exit Big picture mode.
and then i get the regular Steam layout.

it’s not related to the latest update it was happening also before.

Hi, this is a steam client issue which started maybe a few months ago and I also run into sometimes. But as it happens sporadically when launching it and as I’m not always running it from the terminal, it’s hard to track down the issue.

Here is a bug report about it:

github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux

Steam takes very long to start, failed to connect to websocket

Steam client

#### Your system information * Steam client version (build number or date): 1…714854927 * Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 24.04 * Opted into Steam client beta?: No * Have you checked for system updates?: Yes * Steam Logs: not available right now, I can post them when I next start steam, but the extract below should be the relevant information * GPU: AMD Radeon 7900 XTX #### Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible: Recently when starting Steam, the tray icon appears immediately, but using any of the menu items does not work, and the Steam client does not appear. Sometimes the client *does* appear after waiting for several minutes. I am not sure If this is always the case and I just was not patient enough most of the time. When launching from the console it outputs this after hanging: ``` src/steamUI/webuitransportcontroller.cpp (206) : Failed to connect to websocket ``` This seems to me like something tries to connect to a websocket and the interface only continues initializing after the connection timeouts. After appearing the interface does seem to work normally, so I am not sure what kind of websocket connection is failing. This might be connected to #9658, but the problem started very recently for me and the mentioned issue seems to be a lot older. #### Steps for reproducing this issue: 1. Start steam 2. The interface does not appear 3. Try to click on the tray icon and select "Library 4. The interface still does not appear 5. Wait for several minutes 6. The interface appears
