Scratch that. It only does for a while and probably the preview
xwininfo I posted was taken before I restarted Chromium.

Now quitting Chromium, restarting it with auto-restore, immediately
saturate the X server and I can't start any other app. Running
chromium from terminal is very explicit:

$ xwininfo -root -children|wc -l
249
$ chromium-browser
