[Red hot smasher <1353940@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

chromium-browser -disable-gpu-sandbox doesn't work anymore, just tells
me I'm using an unsupported command line parameter and has seemingly no
effect.

Someone in the discussion at
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=401106 claims
chromium-browser --single-process works but when I try that it tells me
I'm using an unsupported command line parameter and segfaults within ~10
seconds.

Apparently google-chrome exhibits the same issue (according to
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=401106), which means
either a) the same packaging issue is going on in both packages or b)
Google's developers are shifting blame because it's convenient, I dunno.
Needs fixing either way.
