Description

# Issue
Since upgrading to 44, ChimeraOS wakes up to the 'verifying installation' screen after being suspended for more than 1 minute instead of Steam, i.e. Steam seems to crash and restart. This was not the case on 43-1.

According to dmesg, gamescope-xwm is segfaulting and presumably causing this behavior.
`[ 4156.775303] gamescope-xwm[874]: segfault at dc ip 0000565431f4e458 sp 00007f9d7a7fb428 error 4 in gamescope[565431f3a000+9d000] likely on CPU 11 (core 3, socket 0)`

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked dmesg.log and the gamescope-xwm segfault reported after waking from suspend. Reproduce the suspend-and-wake sequence on ChimeraOS 44, comparing it with 43-1 if available. Done means waking after a longer suspend returns to Steam without the gamescope crash or restart.
