Use -silent to launch steam without it's window about pegasus-frontend HOT 6 OPEN

Hi! As far as I know, that's how Steam works; to launch a Steam game, Steam has to launch, which may open its own window. Pegasus doesn't have Steam specific code to touch Steam's windows or processes, but if you're aware of a relevant command line flag, do let me know!

You can use the command-line argument -silent in order for it to not show the window.

For example: steam -silent steam://rungameid/[insert id here]

I see, thanks!

Hm so the problem is, since Pegasus can only reopen after the program is closed, and for Steam that has to be done, in general, manually, leaving Steam's window on the screen might be a better reminder for that than only being present on the tray. I did try -silent and it works perfectly, so well that it makes easy to forget why Pegasus doesn't reappear.

Once #442 does get fixed, it won't be a problem, but for now, keeping it as is isn't that bad of an idea to remind that you have steam open.

Changed the title to reflect the current situation, this issue depends on #442 getting fixed, as it is useful as a reminder to close steam.
