"Start Minimized on Boot" GUI option is missing

#### Your system information * Steam client version (build number or date): Oct 1, 2018 * Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Xubuntu 18.04 * Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No * Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes #### Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible: When booting, Steam starts up in the window, with no option in the Settings to start minimized. I could've sworn Steam used to behave this way at one point in Linux and I know it still behaves that way in Windows, but I can't for the life of me figure out why this functionality was removed. The only possible explanation I can think of on my end is that I had to remove the Status Notifier Plugin on my panel due to crashes relating to a bug in another app, forcing the other app & Steam to use the legacy Notification Plugin stuff. But Steam minimizes to the Notification tray icon just fine, so I don't see why this option would not be present. Unfortunately, I can't test this without uninstalling the other app, and I can't really do that right now. #### Steps for reproducing this issue: 1. Install Steam and set it up via the additional installer. 2. (Maybe remove the Status Notifier Plugin from the panel?) 3. Reboot.
