Hi there,
Since I don't know where to put it, I hope this is the right place.
This is just a thought: I wanted to know if it was possible to tell the install script to create a dedicated user and to add it to the steam launch script in order to prevent it to read the user's personal data. I just bumped into that [http://beta.slashdot.org/story/198285] and it feels wrong.
Thanks.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Anyone can do this, there is no reason there should be one tied to the package.
