   Hi all,   
      
   some days ago I wrote here about su- / xauth solution:

   Fine.   
      
   I can 'su - newuser' to invoke every other GUI based application like   
   xclock or even firefox running under a different UID.   
      
   Except chromium browser. There I get the following:   
      
       [14 dimke@ubuntu-bc-esp1 ~]$ su - test1   
       Password:   
      
       [7 test1@ubuntu-bc-esp1 ~]$ chromium-browser   
       /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope is not a snap cgroup   
      
   So, this is obviously caused by some kind of "snap" mechanism, which   
   chromium is build up on.   
      
   And, yes, I know that a compromised desktop will not prevent a 'su -   
   newuser'-ed session within the same desktop from being monitored or   
   hacked.   
      
   But, I try to keep my different accounts apart from each other to avoid   
   interference and other side effects like overwriting.   
      
   Should one try to get a non-snap-version, or   
   can this issue be solved somehow?   
      
   Thanks!   
      
   Best regards,   
      
   Markus
