Double-click on the icon in the notification area should unhide Steam

It's the behavior on Windows and it would be very practical to have it on Linux. Currently I have to click the icon, then visually scroll through the context menu for the My Library item among the dozen other menu items and click that. And it's a pain.

(It's an issue in Xubuntu, it may not be the case with the Unity desktop)

Steam doesn't control the behavior of that icon, that's abstracted via libappindicator, but keeping the feature request.

Sound strange to me that you can't have control on this from the app, since:

• Many apps that minimize in the notification area have the hide/unhide behavior on single click
• Windows Steam through Wine has the behavior I'm requesting (double-click unhides)

So it does look like a per app controlled thing, no?

Sorry, I wasn't saying it was impossible for software to exist that would offer what you ask for, I was just mentioning that Steam uses libappindicator for that menu and libappindicator explicitly takes control of the menu away from the app so that the system can provide whatever behavior it wants.

Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification.
