Gnome/Wayland asks to Allow Remote Interaction to use Xbox Controller as mouse

#### Your system information * Steam client version (build number or date): 1705108172 * Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora Linux 39 (Workstation Edition) * Opted into Steam client beta?: No * Have you checked for system updates?: Yes * Steam Logs: [steam-logs.tar.gz](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/files/14077442/steam-logs.tar.gz) * GPU: AMD RX 6700 XT #### Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible: When using Gnome with Wayland with a Xbox One X Controller, and when pressing the Guide button + any other option (like joystick up) instead of starting controlling the desktop there is a popup that appears asking to "Allow remote interactions".  Allowing it makes the controller work as a mouse (control volume etc..), but once Steam is closed or the controller is disconnected/reconnected, if we try the same operation it asks for the same permissions again. Going to "Settings > Controller > Desktop Layout (EDIT) > Disable Steam Input" doesn't solve the problem, it still shows the popup. #### Steps for reproducing this issue: 1. Connect a Xbox One X Controller via Bluetooth 2. Press Guide + "Joystick Up"
