Steam silent launch not working after client update

Has anyone else experienced the -silent launch option for Steam no longer working since the big client update? Hoping there might be a known fix/workaround out there.

I believe I had to change my "Start Up Location" to "Library" in the Interface settings for the -silent option to work again. I also don't have "Run Steam when my computer starts" turned on, but I'm not sure if that affects it, I just use a start up script instead.

That seems to have done the trick, thanks! I still get a brief flash of something (presumably the Library window) when steam boots, but it disappears as quickly as it appears.

I'm on Linux, yeah. Admittedly I've seen some mentions of it happening on Windows, too.
