You don't.  It's still just a package.  Nothing presonal.

Thanks anyway :/

FWIW, there seems to be (at least) 2 problems here:

1. "Your profile could not be opened correctly"
   I followed the hint here:
	http://www.fourleaftechnology.com/index.php/General/google-chrome-profile-could-not-be-opened-correctly-error.html
   and removed the Web\ Data* files
2. I'm using privoxy and run chromium (among other options) with:
	--proxy-server=localhost:8118
   * that gave me a confusing error message about not being able to
     connect to that proxy
   * changing the /etc/privoxy/config:
	listen-address localhost:8118 -> listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118
     made chromium behave;
   * looks like privoxy may be at fault here, but I didn't dig

The error message:
	Failed to get name owner. Got
	org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of
	name 'org.chromium.Mtpd': no such name
is still there, but does not seem to affect functionality.


Cheers,
