I am not mistaken, steamm currently runs with the main thread named 'MainThrd'. This is very confusing if not known, it should be trivial to make this more descriptive.

+1 for this issue. A better name might lower the probability of a tech support call.

I can change the default name of our threads to something like "Steam". Is that acceptable?

:+1: "Steam" or maybe rather "steam" would be good. :) Currently I see something like this in pstree:

├─gnome-shell─┬
│             ├─steam.sh───MainThrd───34*[{MainThrd}]

bdeen, yes thanks, ‘steam’ would be fine.

+1 for lowercase 'steam'

Done. Should be named "steam" in the next release.

Nothing extracted yet.
