Steam not working (most likely, after installing GNOME)

Hello. I use Xfce as my DE, but today I decided to install GNOME as second DE to try it.
There is my pacman log (nothing interesting here as I think): https://pastebin.com/NpjYCBN2
Everything installed successfully, and now I can switch between this two DEs when I want to (in gdm or lightdm, depending on which is enabled currently).
I tried to launch steam in GNOME, and it failed... I tried launch it in Xfce (as I did previously many times), and it failed too.. I receive endless spam in console "Widevine registration is not supported after context initialization".
Log: https://pastebin.com/WsGhBwHV
When Im trying to launch steam-native (I never did this before, I always launched steam-runtime), I get this error:

Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
libva.so.1
libvdpau.so.1
libva.so.1
libva-x11.so.1

Is there any solution for it? Do I need to post any other logs?

Re: Steam not working (most likely, after installing GNOME)

The errors look like nothing to do with gnome, rather the fontonfig problem currently being discussed...

Did you first install the required steam-native-runtime package?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

steam-native-runtime was not installed, I installed it, and now it shows the same error as steam-runtime.

The same error, but on gist and with "LC_ALL=C": https://gist.github.com/GreWeMa/4aa9feb … 8be25d45a8

Oh, I waited something like a minute, or more, and steam launched... Magic!..

EDIT: after this, I tried few times close and open steam again (in both Xfce and GNOME), it works as always now... So, I think it is "SOLVED" now
