games:tools/steam: Bug - consider adding /sbin to steam's path (fixes lspci, dbus and font errors)

Starting steam via console gives you this output http://susepaste.org/5ccf4e9d If you run as PATH=$PATH:/sbin steam You get a much shorter output with lots of errors removed. http://susepaste.org/d1fa832c I spent a little time looking into this and discovered the following: Valve reports that it uses lspci to detect graphics card for help when streaming and at startup it outputs `sh: lspci: command not found`. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3306 As for the fonts, I blind tested with screenshots of the store and thought the font rendering with the path looked clearer. After zooming in there is actually a difference.
Thanks for the report. Sounds like a good idea. Sadly I can't test steam right now as it segfaults on startup on Tumbleweed.
I was reviewing my old bugs this morning and this one is still valid with the benefits as per first comment (can't see the dbus errors atm). Looking at the package, I presume it'd need a patch similar to steam-invoke_steamtricks.patch and add the path to line 5 of the start up script?
