Bug#741307: steam: Steam randomly freezes and needs to be killed

[diego]

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.45-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

        It happened to me twice. I think that both times I was watching a video
related to a game, but it doesn't happen each time i am watching a video.
Sudenly steam freezes, and it is impossible to do anything. The mouse and
keyboard respond well, but Gnome doesnt work. I have to access to a tty to be
able to kill the steam's process.
