Steam silent launch not working after client update (aussie.zone)

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.
