Details

Description:
File /usr/share/applications/steam-native.desktop should use /usr/bin/steam-native in exec lines for Desktop Actions (Store;Community;Library;Servers;Screenshots;News;Settings;BigPicture;Friends;) otherwise steam-runtime is used which is unexpected behavior when selecting a Desktop Action from the Steam (Native) launcher.
I'm attaching "steam-native.desktop" with the change implemented.

As a bonus, I propose using a the name "Steam" instead of "Steam (Native)" for the launcher and including a Desktop Action to launch steam-runtime instead of steam-native. This allows users to hide the "Steam (Runtime)" launcher if desired and keep their launcher menu cleaner. This is a matter of preference, however, and may be out of the scope the steam-native-runtime package.
I'm attaching "steam-native (with runtime action).desktop" as an example.

Additional info:
* package version: 1.0.0.75-3
* /usr/share/applications/steam-native.desktop

Steps to reproduce:
Launch any of the actions from the "Steam (Native)" launcher and steam (=steam-runtime) is used instead.
   steam-native.desktop (7.5 KiB)
   steam-native (with runtime ac... (7.5 KiB)

For the first suggestion, this can be added to the prepare function to accomplish it:

sed -i 's|steam steam|/usr/bin/steam-native steam|g' "${pkgname%-runtime}.desktop"

As far as the bonus, I believe it is out of scope as there are two shortcuts purposely.
