(steamdeck) Switching from xbox controller to keyboard/mouse controls reverts after changing worlds

Since the game doesn't allow us to switch input devices when running proton on steam deck, I've been running it with the steam linux runtime and have noticed that whenever I either enter a world from the main menu or enter/leave the caves, the input device returns to the default xbox controller despite my constant keyboard/mouse use.

Steps to Reproduce

1. download don't starve together (dst) on steam deck

2. go to properties -> compatibility -> check the box -> switch to steam linux runtime

3. open the game and switch the input devices

4. enter a world

5. notice the controls are back to xbox and not keyboard/mouse

Same issue; they fixed it just before the release of "Hostile Takeover", but put it right back with the update.

For anyone else still having this issue, here is the solution:

First, you need to run the game from the desktop.  Right click on the Don't Starve Together entry in Steam, select "Properties" and then paste the following content into "Launch Options": 

SteamDeck=0 %command%

When you next load the game it will ask you if you want to use a controller, to which you say no, and after that it should default to the mouse and keyboard.  It also allows you to change the resolution and set the game to full screen, which you can't normally do on the Steam Deck's desktop.
