I did the above.  Not sure if things behave any better.  My application
fails with the following alert:

SELinux is preventing /home/jallad/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam from using the execheap access on a process.

  Hash: steam,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execheap

So I try to make a custom policy module as suggested by the
troubleshooter.  But then it nothing is found in the log file.

  # grep steam /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
  Nothing to do

Not sure how to proceed now.

Thanks for any ideas.
