Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

This is not a showstopper/critical in anyway, but still it bothers me. In GNOME when you click the activities button and view all the opened windows as thumbnails, the steam window is displayed as a blank white block rather than the UI itself. This happens when we minimize the steam window. when its not minimised its showing up as expected in the activities window. I have seen this issue in all the GNOME based distros I have tried including fedora, ubuntu etc..

When steam windows minimized.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Minimize steam window.
  2. Click on the activities/workspaces button at the top left corner of the screen
  3. In the thumbnails view you can see that steam window is showing up as blank white screen.
