Steam Input

Screenshots Manager
- Privacy dropdown selector for local screenshots will now remember the last selection.

Linux
- Add a setting to improve compatibility with window managers that send an unfocus event before every pointer click event, e.g. openbox. This setting can be found in “Settings->Interface->Enable context menu focus compatibility mode”. Enabling this setting will fix dropdown menus being unclickable on these window managers.

- Restrict a workaround that prevents a crash on Nvidia GPUs to only activate when we detect an Nvidia GPU. Side-effects for this workaround include window flashing and focus stealing when a steam window is closed, which should no longer affect Intel/AMD users.
