1.  I used to have problems with OLD chrome versions, but now running chrome 
unstable I haven't seen issues for a long time

2. Run chrome from konsole, what happens?

3. Check if old chrome zombies are sitting around.  I used to see this 
sometimes.  Maybe related to using long-running chrome plugins.
