Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

On SteamOS Main 20250218.1000 , steamos-nested-desktop is hard-coded to run at a resolution of 1280x800p even on non-1280x800p displays like the Legion Go S at 1920x1200p or the ROG Ally X at 1920x1080p.

## Shadow kwin_wayland_wrapper so that we can pass args to kwin wrapper
## whilst being launched by plasma-session
mkdir $NEW_XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bin
cat <<EOF > $NEW_XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bin/kwin_wayland_wrapper
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/kwin_wayland_wrapper --width 1280 --height 800 --no-lockscreen \$@
EOF
chmod a+x $NEW_XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bin/kwin_wayland_wrapper
export PATH=$NEW_XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bin:$PATH

Ideally, this should either be the display's native resolution in gamescope or the resolution of the non-steam game entry/global override.
