Hello @gamingmsi, if you completely close Steam, then run steam-runtime from a terminal and reproduce the issue, are there any hints in the terminal spew?

Thanks @gamingmsi, these are the lines of interest in your log:

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] You called XInitThreads, this is not your fault
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
steam: xcb_io.c:278: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.

This is a libx11 system package regression starting with 1.8.2 and needs to be fixed in the upstream project.

This is the same issue as #8977. Closing as a duplicate.
