Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
If Steam insists upon managing its own windows, an option should be added to allow putting the window controls (close, minimize, maximize) on the left at least. All major desktop environments for GNU/Linux operating systems support putting the window controls on the left.
Ways this could be fixed:
Fix #1040 and allow the window manager decorate the windows, as the WM would follow the user preferences.
If Steam does plan to continue decorating its own windows, then an option in Steam preferences to achieve this effect would be nice.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Set GNOME to put window controls on the left.
This can be achieved either using gnome-tweak-tool or this command: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout close,minimize,maximize:
Restart your session (logout/login)
Open Steam
Observe that other applications have window controls on the left as expected, but Steam's window controls are still on the right.
