Description
Settings > Storage > Add Drive. The window is blank as shown. The New Folder and Select buttons do nothing. Cancel works.
Adding my Steam library paths via flatpak didn't help. Neither did -vgui. I tried Big Picture mode (-tenfoot) but apparently it just doesn't have the Add Drive button.

NixOS 24.05 (Uakari); steam installed via nixpkgs doesn't have this problem.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue through Settings > Storage > Add Drive in the Flatpak Steam installation on NixOS 24.05, checking the blank window and the New Folder and Select buttons. Compare the behavior with the nixpkgs Steam installation, which reportedly works; done means the Add Drive window renders and those buttons respond.
