To reproduce:

  1. Quit Steam if it is running.
  2. Click on a launcher for a game. Steam loads up, then the game loads up.
  3. Quit the game.
  4. Wait for a Steam update.
  5. Restart Steam to install update.

Result: Steam exits, downloads the update, automatically re-opens, and then the game you originally ran also loads up.

Expected: The game should not automatically load up when Steam restarts.

This is expected behavior given the way restart works and it's not likely to change. Also not a Linux-specific issue.
