Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Nov 26 2018
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 18.04
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes, often

Issue observed:
When I go to Settings for STEAM, and then into the interface section, the "Set Taskbar Preferences" do not propagate to the Taskbar in Unity (the Desktop Environment, not talking about game Engine), but they DO propagate to the system tray icon.

Examples include, turning off "Store" in the list.

Expectation:
The Taskbar to reflect the settings in-sync with the System tray too.

Small bug I know, but one that makes UX match expectation & settings.
