Steam freezes desktop on launch
Whenever I try to start Steam, it just freezes my whole desktop, causing me to have to hard reset my PC. I'm not certain what could be causing this, I'm leaning towards a graphics driver issue, but I can play the Minecraft and other graphics accelerated apps just fine.
I had had Steam installed and running perfectly for a while, but at some point my graphics card stopped working, so I went back to onboard graphics. And again, everything was working fine. Then I got my Nvidia card working again, and now Steam freezes on launch.
My bootstraplog has an entry for what looks like every file in the .steam directory that looks like:
[2014-02-03 14:05:10] BVerifyInstalledFiles: ubuntu12_32/vgui2_s.so is -1 bytes, expected 918729
I've tried removing it and reinstalling it twice. Anybody got any ideas?

You can have quality, price, or performance, but you can only choose two.
