I installed Steam on my system with the official .deb package. This created /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop to show a shortcut to Steam in Xubuntu's main menu. The corresponding entry correctly shows up in the menu editor.

I had to change this entry commandline to preload some .so files. Apparently, modifying a systemwide entry caused the create of some $HOME/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop.

When using the menu (ie. clicking the Steam icon), the modified command line is run, as expected.

However, when editing the menu, the system default entry is show instead, and I could not find an entry corresponding to the $HOME/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop. One thus has to look directly for this file to know ans modify the entry.

I would have expected the menu editor to display the menu in a manner consistent with the behaviour it has when using it (ie. showing the user-wide entry, not the system-wide entry it replaces).

After upgrading packages (and kernel to 4.4.0-11-generic), the problem persists.

However, there seems to be a workaround : booting with the nomodeset option allows to hibernate and resume properly.

Sorry, #2 was not intended for this bug report, it is unrelated.
