I couldn't disagree more with the closing of this bug, for two reasons:
1) Steam and Steam's games sometimes do replace completely userspace
libraries, like C++ standard library, SDL and/or FreeType, but never
OpenGL or graphic drivers, they always relies on systems installed
implementation for that, and for Steam first run, it asks for sudo
password and installs OpenGL via apt-get automatically.
2) Most importantly, this is a bug were a process hungs in kernelspace
(I can't even kill it with SIGKILL), so no matter what library or
application or any userspace code I could be running, this should never
happen. No custom library Steam could install as my non-privileged user
is able to change code running in kernelspace. This is why this bug was
filled against "linux" package.
