Description:
Steam fails to launch without lib32-libxcursor installed. It causes an immediate crash and creates a dmp file in /temp/dumps.

I did a clean reinstall thinking I just broke something, but the issue reoccurred.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
steam 1.0.0.74-1

Steps to reproduce:

Remove lib32-libxcursor
Attempt launching steam (preferably through the terminal, to see the logs)
Install lib32-libxcursor
Steam should now launch correctly.
This task depends upon

lib32-libxcursor is covered by steam-native-runtime (optdep).

Note: I don't do steam. But reading the wiki about various launch options and browsing numerous bug reports about its dependencies reminds me of a train wreck :(

There have been quite a few steam bug reports lately. Installing wine-staging with all of the optional dependencies takes care of everything.

Note that Glorious Eggroll's famous guide does not have proper commands as optional dependencies should be installed with the --asdeps option.

Proton actually isn't working anymore either- which is really strange, considering wine by itself and native apps work.
