Bug#627148: chromium: 11.0.696.68 freezes after update (with old config or sync?)

[Thomas Renard]

Package: chromium
Version: 11.0.696.65~r84435-1
Severity: normal

Some different scenarios:

1. Update from 11.0.696.65 to 11.0.696.68 (chromium 11.0.696.68~r84545-1) :

 * upgrade chromium via apt
 * start chromium

expected outcome: chromium is started with normal functionality
actual outcome: chromium window is opened and browser freezes. It is not
possible to move the browser's window. Sometimes it is possible to close the
window but chromium processes are still running

2. Install from scratch (or remove ~/.config/chromium) and sync

 * install chromium
 * start it
 * enable synchronization with existing dashboard data

expected outcome: synchronization process ends with a positive message dialog.
Closing dialog box: chromium uses sync parameters and works with the new
settings
actual outcome: synchronization process ends with a positive message dialog.
Closing the dialog box is not possible. Browser freezes.
