Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When Steam is launched, it segfaults if the active workspace is numbered 6 or higher.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Set up a desktop environement with at least 6 static workspaces (I use bspwm)

Steam segfaults

this is not reproducible for me. are there other factors that could be involved?

with bspwm, using 8 screen on the main monitor and launching steam into the eighth. (though, i believe im opted into the beta).

This is still happening for me after updating the steam runtime today. I'm not sure what else I can change (since it happens to me on fresh boots). It might be helpful to note that before Steam crashes, I'm getting lots of these messages:

Steam: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
Value in failed request:  0x14
Serial number of failed request:  117
xerror_handler: X failed, continuing

These don't appear when I launch Steam on lower-numbered workspaces.
