Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
The steam client and startup dialog don't provide any window manger hints, which means dialogs get treated like a normal window. This is mostly annoying when using a tiling window manger, which will just tile the dialog as normal window. This is just more of a nicety.
For example the info provided by steam can be viewed with xwininfo:
xwininfo: Window id: 0x2000008 "Steam"
Root window id: 0x1e7 (the root window) (has no name)
Parent window id: 0x1e7 (the root window) (has no name)
