Exit doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04

[dhmoclex]

1. On Ubuntu 14.04 ;
2. Log In with Steam login ;
3. Choose Exit in STeam Menu ;

Expected result :
We are logged out of our session and back to gdm.

Actual result :
Steam seems to not be correctly closed, then an empty desktop is displayed.

I believe this is caused by line 99 of /usr/bin/steam-de. For some reason, the steam browser protocol does not work (tested on Arch Linux). What usually happens to me is Big Picture quits and I get a log in prompt and if I hit cancel, it logs out and returns to GDM. I will begin to look into fixing it.

As a workaround you can use 'return to desktop'

Pull request #27 fixes it.

Hello, it seems that in version 9.1 from repository there isn't this patch.

I'm using this through the archlinux AUR package steam-session-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam-session-git/
Line 99 of steam-de, the -shutdown option of steam doesn't seem to do anything other than restarting steam once it has quit. Reading the script carefully, I don't even understand why it's here in the first place since it gets run once the steam window isn't present anymore, which probably means steam has already been shutdown (hense the restart ?).
Moreover, the -enableremotecontrol switch doesn't seem to be listed among the valid steam command line switches: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options#Steam_.28Windows.29
(I know that's the window documentation, but there's nothing regarding Linux)

I'll try a few modifications and build a PR.

Try the version 10 and see if this fix the problem. Thanks!

The version 11 may work better, if you want to give it also a try!

thanks!
