While it does work, I'm having troubles with some X11 programs.
In particular, when I try Google Chrome (from meta-browser), it
falls apart and nothing works at all.  Here are the messages I
get from chrome:
[2294:2294:0801/160320:ERROR:component_loader.cc(138)] Failed to parse extension manifest.
[2317:2317:0801/160325:ERROR:gl_surface_glx.cc(407)] glxQueryVersion failed

[2294:2294:0801/160419:ERROR:web_resource_service.cc(54)] Utility process crashed while trying to retrieve web resources.

Any ideas where to look or how to fix this?
Maybe there's a [simple] way to disable the use of GPU for chrome?
I'm running chrome 35.0.1916.114 (the latest non-beta)

Thanks
