Title:
  Cannot configure chromium to open external links in a new window

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: chromium-browser

  I'm not sure if it was a GNOME or an Ubuntu decision, but removing the
  ability in the "Preferred Applications" GNOME capplet to use a
  customized command-line to open HTTP URL links in a preferred web
  browser in a customized way, _really_ irritates me. I guess this is a
  two part issue: 1) that Chromium apparently can't be screwed to give
  users the option to open URLs in new windows, and 2) that GNOME
  capplet guys zealously remove options with absolutely no regard to
  advanced users and commonly used advanced options.

  I've not yet found a way to work around this either. I even tried
  setting the preferred http* handlers in gconf-editor to open a shell
  script that in turn opened the URL with "chromium-browser --new-window
  $*", but that didn't work either, oddly enough.
