Google Chrome XCFE

If you want to edit the Google Chrome starter in your XCFE system menu you have to tweak the "Google-Chrome.desktop" file by hand.
It can be done by starting your mousepad as sudo ($ sudo mousepad) and find:

/usr/local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

If you like Google Chrome to start in the "incognito" modus you can change the Exec line to:
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome -incognito %U

Adobe Flash Player and Google Chrome (17-12-2009)

Many Linux users run into problems with Google Chrome when they want to use the Adobe Flash player. It get stuck or it doesn't run at all, I use Flash Player version 9 because that version runs fast and smooth on my Linutop in FireFox 3.0.
Version 10 of the Flash Player is slow and uses to much of the resources I have available.

The latest version (10 at the moment) of the adobe Flash Player is working with Google Chrome (slow) but I don't want to use this version in FireFox.
So I downloaded the new "install_flash_player_10_linux.deb" package at www.adobe.com and toke libflashplayer.so out of the package.
Than I copied the new libflashplayer.so into the: /opt/google/chrome/plugins/  
directory.

Now Firefox is using Adobe Flash Player version 9 and Google Chrome is using version 10. Although version 10 in Google Chrome is slow and irritating, at least it's working.

I have a libflashplayer.so from a .deb package here online for you zipped to 3.9mb
click here for the file, maybe it's working for you.....

Remember to backup your original files and do not replace them because you might need them later!!!
