Description Of The Problem

Automatic invocation of steam, upon login, does not utilise the modifications applied to $HOME/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop. Because I have appended -dev to it, I want it to.

Others, with GPU overrides applied, may consider it to be of use, too.

How To Reproduce It

1. #!/usr/bin/env sh
   run0 dnf5 install -y --refresh steam-1.0.0.85-2.fc43.i686 && \
   steam
   

2. Select:

   1. Settings

   2. Interface

   3. Run Steam when my computer starts

   To empirically demonstrate:

   #!/usr/bin/env steam
   document.querySelector('#popup_target > div > div._1ENHEsrSLcTRtPQFl1F-wL._1DvwQt0JN-Ogp_4tVZdkzX > div._3mz8wQ6Q44B8P7pzPP4Iyw > div._3Z7VQ1IMk4E3HsHvrkLNgo > div._39oUCO1OuizVPwcnnv88no > div._1Ky59qmywxOUtNcI1cgmkX._3s0lkohH8wU2do0K1il28Y > div:nth-child(1)').click();
   document.querySelector('#popup_target > div > div > div:nth-child(9)').click();
   document.querySelector('#«r7c»\/settings\/interface').click();
   document.querySelector('#«r7c»\/settings\/interface_Content > div > div.DialogBody.aFxOaYcllWYkCfVYQJFs0 > div:nth-child(6)').click();
