A related thing that annoys me, if you start Steam manually, it takes ~30 seconds to launch and it will steal your focus multiple times during launch. So annoying!

Yeah, that's really annoying - it steals focus once upon launching, another time upon loading and another time when the news popup opens.

I had the same issue and you can do this by editing your Steam shortcut and adding -silent to the arguments.
