Steam doesn't graphically recover after killing/restarting (Nvidia/XMonad)

[hjpaul7]

Your system information

• Steam client version (build number or date): 5/7/2024 beta
• Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
• Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
• Steam Logs: steam-logs.tar.gz
• GPU: Nvidia 535
• DE/WM: XMonad

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam will eventually get graphically corrupted via either exiting BPM, game, switching workspace. I know this has been reported so won't go into much detail there.

But exiting Steam either through Steam or killall steam (takes multiple attemps to finally kill it) there are still 2 steamwebhelpers processes running that cannot be killed. I've tried killing the PID multiple ways and it simply will not kill it.

Anyways, opening steam again results in steam being two broken UI windows. Screenshot below.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Close BPM, exit game, switch workspace
2. Close steam
3. Reopen Steam
4. UI corrupt

First screenshot:

The "second" broken Steam UI window is the terminal window below steam (this terminal window is not on this workspace, it's on workspace 2, with a file manager window below just for demonstration. It cannot be removed no matter what I try.

Second screenshot:

Here's if I switch to say, workspace 3 where there are no windows and switch back to workspace one, the broken Steam UI window is black.

Related issue here when using steam with X and i3 on guix:

when switching desktops away from the one steam is using, steam's library view gets "stuck" until i3 forces it to resize by adding another window or closing the window and reopening it.
