   By tinkering w/ my options, I've developed some strategies for partially   
   cooperating and partially not, to get 'past' the freeze w/ complaints by   
   the alert, but launching chromium 'anyway'.   
      
   This is a daffy requirement.   
      
   After doing that, while in Chromium, I disabled its pw manager functions   
   and autologin.  Now there is no seahorse and no pw functions in   
   chromium; however, in the live, one is actually logged in w/ no pass for   
   the live user.   
      
   In any case, in that condition in the live, I could logoff and log back   
   in and launch chromium w/o any dance to get past authentication for a   
   new keyring.
