            Bug ID: 38641
           Summary: Trying to start a Steam game whilst Steam isn't
                    running doesn't open the game
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.43
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

      Distribution: ---

If Steam isn't running and you try and start a Steam game, the expected
behaviour (and the behaviour on Windows) is that Steam opens and then the game
launches.

On Wine, Steam opens as you'd expect, but it doesn't then try and start the
game, it simply sits there at the Steam interface as if you'd opened the Steam
and not the game specifically.

Trying to open the game once Steam is already running works as expected.

To recreate this behaviour; On the command line, run this command:
wine start steam://run/123456
(replacing '123456' with the ID of a Steam game you have installed in Steam)

This happens regardless of the way you try and launch the game, the command
above is simply the easiest way to test.
