Steam-installer based steam crashes gala #2321
Description
What Happened?
I was running steam and playing a game called Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop when steam crashed. This crashed the entire DE and sent me to LightDM to login again.
Steps to Reproduce
- Use native steam (flatpak steam just doesn't start)
- Start game
- Steam will eventually crash
- Sent to login menu
Expected Behavior
Steam crash shouldn't take down entire DE
OS Version
8.x (Circe)
Session Type
Secure Session (Wayland)
Software Version
Latest release (I have run all updates)
