Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6173, member: 1"I guess it's time to install Unity then...
Maybe you can set how will the links be launched from Firefox? Check about:config, I think you could pop optirun before it.
Also, I love Unity!

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6171, member: 1"Can't do it that way as i need to run a custom command to even get it to run - dual graphics chip :/
Liamdawe, steam is started with the steam.sh script, simply edit that script, add your command before it executes the steam binary

Dammit, I can't launch KF, it doesn't have the binaries.
And I hoped I'd be able to play it without crashing...

Nevermind, I see - you need a password for the Linux beta in this case.

Managed to get it working under openSUSE w KDE4.9.3. I had to install mozilla-nss-32bit and libpng12 (strace as debugger was very helpful). And "steam://run/22000" to start download world-of-goo.
I encountered problem with missing tray icon so currently steam is "working" in background but no idea how to show its window. :D

Seems like some apps fail to install, I can't get Osmos or VVVVVV to download, they stop instantly and just leave empty folders.

Probably easier (and less liekly to break with updates) Launch steam by running the following command (or something like it) "xdg-open steam://library".
As far as I can tell as long as steam is opened using and xdg link then it won't give you the "No Linux for you" window
