Title:
  CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS environment variable is ignored

Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The script that starts Chromium has a section that's supposed to check
  whether the environment variable CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS is defined, as if
  so, use it rather than CHROMIUM_FLAGS.

  However, the script checks if the length of the string (not the
  variable) "CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS" is zero, which of course is always
  false. As a result, it never uses CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS at all.

  I've attached a patch file that fixes the problem.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Set the environment variable CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS to a non-empty string. Something like:
  export CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS="--password-store=gnome"
  2) Run /usr/bin/chromium-browser
  3) Look at the process's command line from ps to see if the options in CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS are included.

  Expected behavior: The flags from CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS are added to the
  command line, and the flags from CHROMIUM_FLAGS are not.

  Observed behavior: The flags from CHROMIUM_FLAGS are used, and the
  flags from CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS are ignored.
