Friendslist seems to cause long "delay/hang" when trying to minimize steam. #10853

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Having the Friendslist Window open (seems to) randomly cause the Steam Main Window (Library) to kinda "Hang" when trying to minimize Steam. It will then kinda freeze Steam and become unresponsive.. however it will eventually minimize itself (as it should) and it doesn't seem to crash there is no error or warning in the journal related to this and top also doesn't show any increase in Mem or CPU load when it happens.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. The best way to "kinda" reproduce it seems to be running firefox then open steam library (make library fullscreen seems to make it happen more frequently but it isn't needed) and friends list then then click on firefox (other apps might work as well) so that steam will lose focus.. the taskbar of KDE should look like: grafik

  2. Now open Steam to bring it to focus again by clicking the window in the taskbar and immediately click X on steam to minimize it and also click X on friendslist to close it as well (you should do it kinda fast to have better chance to reproduce it). Sometimes you then will notice that steam doesn't close itself to the tray.. and takes a while to do so. It doesn't happen all the time... but i can reproduce it if i just do it often enough or let it sit for a while after completing step 1 before step 2. It doesn't seem to happen (or i just haven't encountered it yet) when i don't have the friendslist open.

Keep in mind i'm just describing a way to increase chances to be able to reproduce it. But it doesn't mean it only triggers that way.. it seems to randomly happen.. Therfore it is kinda annoying.
