OS/Window Manager/ 32/64-bit?
Also, if you got a crash dump upload can you give us the name of that? It will show in the console output if one is sent.
@MrSchism: Ubuntu 12.10/Unity/64 bits
I'm recently experiencing the same thing here on 64-bit ArchLinux, I get this every time I try to launch the Steam client. I did a system upgrade a couple of days ago, so it's possible that Arch has updated something which has broken it.
I'm using kernel 3.7.4 and NVIDIA driver 310.19.
The crashdump is crash_20130126001119_1.dmp (and a few others :-D).
Console output:

And in case it's helpful, the ldd output of my Steam binary.

A core dump is available at www.webalice.it/norsetto/core.4145
@MrHodgepants, your crash is deep in the X Server. I don't know what's going wrong there, so my only suggestion would be to contact your distribution.
@norsetto, I can't do much with your core file, unfortunately, so I don't know if your probably is similar or something else.
Reporting user has deleted their github account, so we can’t get any more information for this. Closing bug.
