Google Chrome causes SCIM crash

Been using Google Chrome beta for LINUX for a week. I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed. Before switching to LINUX, I've been using Google Chrome almost exclusively on the old Windows XP box. The browser did deliver well its promise to be faster than other browsers on the market.

The beta version for the open source OS was as promising, but did not deliver as well. Browser launching of the minimal Firefox 3.5 is much faster. Even Google search is faster by centi-seconds on Firefox.

Although, what drove me to the edge and finally decided to uninstall the celebrated browser was actually (written here) that it crashes the SCIM input method. Since installation of google-chrome-beta package, SCIM became unlaunchable and had on various event when I try to force launch as daemon, crashes the most foreground web page in Google Chrome.

After much hassle, I finally got SCIM working again after uninstallation of the browser. I'm not planning to give it another try until they graduate it from beta into a final version. Too bad, it's just too bad google releases several disappointments in a row lately. Maybe that means they should focus more and make things better before launch? My two cents.
