Research direction

Compare the Protontricks Flatpak manifest with the linked Steam manifest files on the beta and master branches. Review permission and environment-variable differences, including the network manager permission, and confirm that the appropriate changes are reflected in Protontricks without adding unused permissions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi there. It seems some more permissions and env. variables have been added/removed over time to the Steam Flatpak. Could you take a look at their manifest to see if you can include/remove new permissions from the Protontricks Flatpak too?

https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/blob/beta/com.valvesoftware.Steam.yml (Beta branch I believe)
https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/blob/master/com.valvesoftware.Steam.yml (master/stable branch)

And also, something I want to highlight: the network manager permission is not used by them by default. See https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/wiki#app-starts-slower-than-native.

Thanks in advance.
