[gentoo-user] how can i get multiple chromium window on kde 4.4?

[Xi Shen]

hi,

i can only start one chromium window. if i try to drag one tab off the
main window, i got the follow error message:
"
The program 'chrome' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
"

looks like this feature is not complete yet...do we have other way to
do this? having too many tabs in one window is terrible.

This used to work for me, but now it just crashes Chromium, which
presumably started after the recent Chromium update. However, opening a
second Chromium window and then dragging the tab from one window to the
other does work.

You could also try the TooManyTabs extension.

Yes, but that's not how it should work, or how it worked until
recently.

There is nothing intuitive about computer use, it is all learned. So if
you've been using KDE for many years, Alt-F2 is a natural action :)
