Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

On GNOME (Wayland), while using my Steam Deck OLED's buttons and trackpads without Steam running, everything works as intended.
Although, when Steam is running, whenever I press any button or touch any trackpad, I get prompted with this window.

After allowing it, all inputs are working as expected until I use the Steam's on-screen keyboard or after some time and I systematically get prompted again with this exact same window.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Launch Steam on GNOME/Wayland;
  2. Press any Steam Deck OLED input (except the touchscreen).
