Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam starts at 2x scaling, but my system is not configured for that. I'm running GNOME on Wayland.

From webhelper.txt: ThreadSetForceDeviceScaleFactors 1.000000 * 2.000000 = 2.000000

Also:

# https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9466
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor
uint32 0
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 
1.0
$  xrdb -query | grep Xft.dpi
Xft.dpi:	96
$ echo $GDK_SCALE

Setting LC_ALL=C has no effect, but running steam -forcedesktopscaling 1 does what it's supposed to (runs without scaling).
