Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

steam interprets the close window command sent by the window manager (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin in my case) to mean quit, not close the window. However, steam should interpret the command to mean close the window rather than quit, because steam's current behaviour is nonstandard.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Download KWinRules_NoTitleBarAndFrame.zip.
  2. Unzip the .kwinrules file.
  3. Rename its extensions to simply .kwinrules rather than .txt.kwinrules.
  4. Import the .kwinrules file via GUI:/CLI:.
    image demonstrates that this works.
  5. Launch steam.
  6. Close steam using the title bar.
    steam shall immediately quit.
