Guys,
  Do you know why running VMD via the normal startup script doesn't work
with Chromium? Is some Chromium environment variable lost when it is run
that way? If you guys can tell me what's going on there, I can probably
change the startup script so that it works for Chromium too.

Thanks,
  John Stone
