Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When i type in a terminal: steam&steam&steam it launches 3 instances of steam. This behavior was not always there, normally steam should see that there is a running instance and use this one. This is also a big issue since i just click on games on the menu and also in there, steam tries to start a new instance for every game.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. start a game from the menu, close the game
  2. start another one from the menu
