Steam Client for Linux Translation Crash

[Maiku]

Hi all.

I recently set my Debian language to Esperanto as I've been learning it and I discovered that if I try to run Steam, it closes either without opening a window or sometimes flashes a window for an instant and then it closes. However, I can run it with `LANG=en_US` or similar and then it does successfully run.

Running it in the terminal, without setting the LANG environment variable, I get the following error message:

<Output trimmed until here>
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1373418487_client)
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1373418487_client)
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1373418487_client)
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1373418487_client)
Steam: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Value in failed request:  0x0
Serial number of failed request:  105

I suspect this is a secondary symptom though.

It's not a huge deal to me, just inconvenient to have to run it with the extra flag. Additionally I thought it important Valve be aware of the bug.

Thanks,

It seems this is actually known, yet supposedly fixed.. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1420

However, it is still broken for me :/

It's still broken for me too.
