It is an install from Software Center. Launching Steam only pops up a window with choices for to restart Steam, restart Steam without accelerated rendering, restart Steam without browser sandbox, restart steamwebhelper and finally just close Steam. The window being present makes system also very slow and i can barely choose any of those options.
None of the choices do nothing and Steam is seemingly running as is shown in the taskbar but the main Steam window is no where to be found.
Terminal output:
`~ $ steam
