KDE, GNOME, LXDE) have not issues. In all four cases, my steps were: 1) Boot from CD 2) Reformat HD 3) Pick default settings during install 4) After install finishes, run zypper update to patch 5) Activate NON-OSS Repo 6) Install steam 7) run steam as regular user On XFCE, steam starts, puts an icon on the desktop and displays the terms and conditions. That's it. All three other desktops download the steam client and proceed to the login / create account screen. For the record, this machine is an older i7, with 8GB RAM, and a NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
