Steam will crashes without giving errors without steam runtime

When running steam with native runtime it crashes when it gets to the point of spawning the "connecting" window. This is the only log output:

myusername@myhostname:~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32$ STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
Running Steam on debian 7.0 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
[2015-01-31 23:56:38] Startup - updater built Jan 23 2015 13:46:31
[2015-01-31 23:56:38] Verifying installation...
[2015-01-31 23:56:38] Verification complete
Requested Force create but SharedObjectMutex already created
Forced create but already created for SharedObjectEvent
Forced create but already created for SharedObjectEvent
myusername@myhostname:~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32$ 

Those last errors happen when running with steam runtime as well but it works with steam runtime.

Anyone ideas?

Re: Steam will crashes without giving errors without steam runtime

A very similar mutex error came up recently with some other applications. This was due to gtk changes (bl**dy GNOME  ), and we had to wait for patches to fix it.

Have you just done an upgrade?

If this is the case here, it may give you a pointer for searching for a solution.

Re: Steam will crashes without giving errors without steam runtime

yes I updated gtk to its latest version if that's what you mean, currently running with jessie repositories (but not sid repositories)
