Since today's update to the beta channel that Steam just hangs one core at 100% when starting and it never opens.
This is what I got running from a console:
$ steam

[0913/123742:WARNING:proxy_service.cc(958)] PAC support disabled because there is no system implementation
After this, nothing shows up and a CPU core is at 100% usage.
Also tried deleting ~/.steam and ~/.local/share/Steam and reinstalling. Steam works fine as long as I don't join Beta. As soon as it updates to the Beta version, same thing happens again.
