Chromium

Chromium is the open source web browser on which Google Chrome is based. The Google-authored portion of it is released under the BSD license,with other parts being subject to a variety of different permissive open-source licenses, including the MIT License, the LGPL, the Ms-PL, and an MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license.It implements the same feature set as Google Chrome, but has a slightly different logo.Versions of Mac and Linux Google Chrome based on Chromium were released to the development channel for Google Chrome on 4 June 2009.According to the developer documentation, "'Chromium' is the name of the project, not the product, and should never appear in code in variable names, API names etc. Use 'chrome' instead.

Line 306 (at the time of writing) reads:

elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce;

Change it to be:

elif [ x"$DESKTOP_SESSION" = x"xfce" ]; then DE=xfce;

Save the changes and close the text editor.
