Steam continually restarts itself until `flatpak kill` #1204

When closing Steam through the menu or the app tray, it will fully close and exit, but then restarts immediately afterward. The console log includes messages about missing killall command that I wonder if may be related (perhaps it's trying to kill some supervisor process that restarts Steam after crashes, but the kill fails due to missing command in flatpak, so the supervisor restarts steam?).

I'm an experienced dev but new to flatpak, but if someone can point me in the right direction I can work on this. Things that would be useful to know:

  1. With flatpak, should you add binaries to the container like with podman et al, or should they be using the system binary that is mapped in somehow?
