Opening links that would normally open in the browser doesn't work, notably game manuals as they don't have an ovious way to show or copy the URL.

Clicking the [Additional content] Manual button in the library seemingly does nothing.

Produces the following console output:

kde-open: /home/l1q/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libproxy/libpxbackend-1.0.so)

that's steam running my system kde-open using system libproxy to then try using steam-runtime's libcurl??

just running kde-open in my terminal works fine
