Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/7022

Games configured to launch with the Gamescope compositor, wrapped using Scopebuddy, do not launch. Here is an example attempting to launch Dispatch:

...
reaping pid: 149 -- steam
fsync: up and running.
...
Adding process 878 for gameID 2592160
pid 883 != 878, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)
/usr/bin/scb: line 492: /usr/bin/perl: Permission denied
...

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow Scopebuddy through the sandbox to enable this compatibility in Steam.
