After upgrading steam client to 1358447263 (17th january update) it doesn't starts.
After launching in terminal it shows:

response: CrashID=bp-43466760-18b0-4f0d-a49b-34ef42130117
/home/yuri/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 337: 8414 Segmentation fault $STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/$STEAMEXE" "$@"

Before upgrade steam worked normal.

Oh, silly me.
OS, version & arch.
CPU specs.
Graphics chipset and driver.

Have you updated any system packages recently? One user on Arch reported that an update broke steam because they’d moved to GTK3.

SShished 2013-01-18 github

OS: openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 (Linux 3.7.1)
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k
GPU: nVidia GTX 660 (non-ti) with 313.18 driver.
I upgraded graphics driver yesterday and after that steam worked normal.
System packages doesn't upgraded.
There was a software update, but i did it before launched steam and upgraded it.

The crash report shows that it is crashing in libX11, which is unusual. Have you configured your X server in any non-default way?

SShished 2013-01-18 github

No. I can provide xorg.conf

Thanks, we'll have to see if we can find a repro here.

Maybe xorg.0.log will be also useful

Thanks for posting the logs. I'm not an expert at reading those logs but I didn't see anything that jumped out as a possible explanation, unfortunately.

Full steam running log

I found that is my side problem: i launched steam in separate x server and it worked.
So there something wrong happens when my x server launching.
How to fix it?

OK. I dont know how but this bug is fixed. Because i did alot of changes.
