Same enviroment and system that issue #4966 and #4967 trying to report and fill another different bug and trace appeared:

** (steam:4792): WARNING **: Could not create object for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0: unknown object type

Installing the package libnm-glib4:i386 (32 bits version since I am in 64 bits) seems remove the warning:

sudo apt-get install libnm-glib4:i386

Not sure if too late, but that bug is still on and was hitting me, steam crashed every time between 1 and 5 minutes after starting a game (not sure if idle it would crash the same way)

Running on Ubuntu 16.04/64.

I suspect that having VLAN interfaces on the system yelds the problem, it seems this start happening after I added a couple of 802.1Q interfaces.

Installing the aforementioned package resolved the issue, thanks @shakaran.

FWIW

 sudo dnf install NetworkManager-libnm.i686

resolves a similar error on Fedora 30 beta.
