Arch Linux

Description:

Steam games using the new Steam Runtime use [steam-runtime-urlopen] for opening links. While http and https URLs have a fallback through Steam's pipe (Steam ends up opening the url on the host side) other URLs, e.g. opening local files, goes through xdg-desktop-portal.

Steam installs the runtime / pressure-vessel which include the steam-runtime-urlopen. It also bundles bwrap as pv-bwrap.

I think that Steam should have an (optional) dependency on xdg-desktop-portal.

[steam-runtime-urlopen]: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/f2893fe9b0a40604f0b2d1c9f754014cf10837b7/bin/urlopen.c#L196

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install KDE and Steam, xdg-desktop-protal-kde gets installed but xdg-desktop-portal does not.
2. Install Nights of Azure in Steam
3. Try to open game's manual from the game launcher, you'll get:

steam-runtime-urlopen: Unable to open URL with xdg-desktop-portal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop was not provided by any .service files

It works after installing xdg-desktop-portal.
