Not a major problem, but I think this might effect the random survey.

steam
Running Steam on ubuntu 13.10 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically...etc etc

Kubuntu 13.10 64bit

That output comes from /etc/lsb-release (on an Ubuntu-ish distro), what does your file say? It only affects steam.sh and different info is used in the survey.

You are right.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=saucy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 13.10"

But maybe that different info should be used when lauching steam. Somebody on kubuntu should fix this file.

Nothing extracted yet.
