Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I selected a game, right clicked its entry in the library, then went to Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files. This launched my file browser. Steam became unresponsive until the file browser was closed, because my file browser runs directly from a command instead of being launched in the background when called.
The call to launch the file browser should not block, Steam should fork it and ignore it.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Set your file browser to something simple like mc or pcmanfm
In Steam, select a game from the Library
Right click the game, then Properties, Local Files, Browse Local Files
Observe the file manager launch, and the Steam client unresponsive and not re-drawing its GUI
