Describe your issue:

Dialogs take 2-3 extra seconds to open. By dialogs I mean any window other than the main window, like game properties, a new browser window, etc. This happened pretty recently, like only this month.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Steam
  2. Right click on a game in the library, then Properties...
  3. Takes ~2 seconds to open instead of milliseconds like it used to

This issue is indeed quite annoying for Linux-native games and their users.
