Steam, Linux and Segmentation fault

My steam deb installation on Kubuntu 14.04 failed while it was trying to start. When I ran the program from the control panel , it showed that it crashed out with a segmentation fault.

Turns out that the issue was attributed to the proprietary drivers I was using(  in this case AMD's fglrx). Setting the drivers to the  Xorg's drivers and re-run steam worked.
