Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Feb 14 2023
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Flatpak
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Each time Steam loses focus, it prints the following error to stdout:

Steam: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
Resource id in failed request:  0x0
Serial number of failed request:  9
xerror_handler: X failed, continuing

It will continuously repeat the same error once the window is unfocused.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run Steam
  2. Focus any other window

I'm using swaywm. I don't see any obvious problems with this, but it fills steam's stdout with rubbish, and makes it super hard to read logs when trying to debug a game that isn't working.
