Bug#833113: steam: Internal browser doesn't seem to be working

Mon Aug 1 01:47:53 UTC 2016

Launching via command line doesn't seem to produce any relevant errors.
Just this line stands out:

Unable to remove ~/.steam/CONFIG/SteamAppData.vdf!

The error.log seem to have found the issue though, note the store url error
at then end (ExecSteamURL: "steam://store"). I've replaced my home address
with ~ here and above.

process 16978: The last reference on a connection was dropped without
closing the connection. This is a bug in an application. See
dbus_connection_unref() documentation for details.
Most likely, the application was supposed to call dbus_connection_close(),
since this is a private connection.
