After latest UI fixes steam client enters an update loop (gamescope-session)

[ashtophet]

With commit 1d4fd86882bed4aa42a925edccf44cb3e90aee90 the steam client enters an unending update loop. You have to stop steam-patch for the loop to cease. I haven't suffered it with the desktop client.

Yesterday it worked fine and survived a couple of reboots. Today the first boot was ok too. Now every boot/change to gamescope-session is affected.

Using a binary compiled before the mentioned commit the steam client does not enter the update loop.

Attached are:

• journalctl -b 0 --unit steam-patch log
• steam-stdout.log steam-patch-update-loop.txt steam-stdout.txt

It's solved in this fork https://github.com/corando98/steam-patch It also solves https://github.com/Maclay74/steam-patch/issues/6 , adds GPU Clock slider, etc.

@corando98 would you mind to merge it? I don't think it makes much sense to maintain two repositories for the same purpose?

[corando98]

@Maclay74 I'll clean up the branch a bit more then merge if that is fine with you, need a couple more testing to see that it's good.

[Maclay74]

Sure, take your time. Thanks for your work, it's very impressive and helpful!

Hey @corando98, how is going? Do you think we can merge your changes?
