Hi first post here. Been using XBMC on a raspberry pi for over a year and upgraded to an Intel NUC this weekend.

teeedubb: Thanks a lot for your plugin and your guidance, thanks to you I was able to set up XBMCbuntu and steam together this weekend.

If you don't mind: I have a few remarks about your XBMCbuntu guide that could help new users. Some of it might be errors on my side, but this is all a result from following your guide to the letter and then trying to fix what went wrong:

• Changing my user-session to Openbox didn't work, the config file appears to be ignored, maybe it uses a different one now? What I did instead was exit XBMC and at the login screen press 'F9' to open the windowmanager selection box (the button itself falls outside the screen on my TV) and select Openbox there. This time the change was permanent.
  
• $HOME/.config/openbox/ doesn't appear to exist until you launched it at least once
  
• Steam complains about missing 32-bit libraries the first time I try to run it. Was quickly solved with sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib
  
• wmctrl is not installed on XBMCbuntu by default, so installing it is an important step.
  

Final step is getting that Valve xpad driver to work in XBMC (works great in Steam though), but I am not the only one struggling with that and it has nothing to do with your addon
*edit* I couldn't get your jsonrpc trick for my gamepad working at first. Then I released that the default port for jsonrpc in current XBMCbuntu builds is 8080, not 9191. I changed the portnumbers and now my gamepad works like a charm on bootup
