Would be cool if steam bootstrap supported KDialog along with Zenity
Steam is independent of system gtk and zenity, correct?
If it's so, i would like to have kdialog based steam bootstrap, so i could remove zenity and gtk3 from my system

I think removing GTK is a bad idea since alot of other programs use it and it could be needed in the future, but I agree that they should make Steam able to use both gtk and kdialog

@bonkmaykrQ He meant removing zenity from the default dependencies for steam and let it be dependent on the GUI. Zenity comes pre installed with gnome as mutter requires it and same goes for KDialog in KDE. So Steam can support both.

Nothing extracted yet.
