[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#839168: chromium: takes forever to start

[Francesco Potortì]

Package: chromium
Version: 53.0.2785.113-1
Severity: important

Chromium takes very long to start, with these messages:

~$ chromium 
[19933:19954:0929/194334:ERROR:file_path_watcher_linux.cc(264)]
inotify_init() failed: Too many open files
[19933:19966:0929/194334:ERROR:nss_util.cc(809)] After loading Root
Certs, loaded==false: NSS error code: -8018
[19989:19989:0929/194334:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(343)]
InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process
gpu-process. 
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: Did not receive a
reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The time taken is so long (about a minute) that I can start it only from
a terminal, because when I start it from the Mate menu, it gives up
after a while.
