Steam desktop windows crash, can't be reopened without fully exiting and restarting steam.

Howdy all!

When playing a game on Steam, the main Steam application window and the friends window will sometimes close themselves, and I can not get them to open without exiting steam using the indicator menu.

Sometimes the windows will reopen themselves, taking focus away from the game.

Could just be a steam bug, but I wasn't able to find any other info on it.

Been having this issue for a while.
