Hello,

with the latest update I have a tray icon ( with missing icon) in my system tray.
When I click on it and go to "Library" it opens the Library page in the client as expected. Now when I click on the tray icon again and hover over the menu entries with my cursor, it takes about a second for them to get highlighted.

What is strange is that when I go to "News/Announcments" (don't know what the exact name is in the english version)" under the "Screenshot" entry the tray icon menu reacts fast when displaying this page. When I go back to "Library" it is slow again.

I managed to reproduce this every single time on two PCs. Both running Arch Linux x86_64 with Gnome 3.6.2

UPDATE: When using STEAM_RUNTIME=0 to make it use my installed lib32-libappindicator package the tray behaves the same way but at least I got my icon . :)

It also seems like "Library" is the only page that slows the tray down.

#673 (I still claim that it should be fixed also in steam)
