[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#612833: chromium-browser: Startup dialog to choose a search engine will not close without choosing

[Josh Triplett]

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 9.0.597.84~r72991-1
Severity: normal

Chromium now prompts at startup to choose a search engine (Google,
Yahoo, or Bing).  The dialog it uses to do so has no close button, and
does not respond to the window manager close key.  To make it go away
without choosing a search engine, I had to kill chromium-browser with
-9 (SIGTERM did not work either).

This proved particularly annoying since due to some other bug that I
still need to track down, opening links from other programs tries to
bring up Chromium rather than Firefox.  This made me rather disinclined
to interact with Chromium rather than just killing it immediately; thus,
its failure to actually die proved quite obnoxious.
