It may be I am seeing similar crashes to you. When I said Xorg locked
up, I only meant that nothing in my x2go session would respond (not
only chromium, but all mouse clicks were ignored). It may very well be
that VcXsrv on the client is crashing, since I was able to recover by
quitting and restarting x2go. I think I may even have had to use
Windows task manager to kill VcXsrv, but I don't remember (it has been
a while since it last happened).

I am using the Chromium x86_64 package from the Archlinux "extra"
repository. Currently it is at version 21.0.1180.81-2.

I never use proxy settings, so I was unsure what exactly you wanted me
to test. I just accessed Chromium:

Settings...Network...Change proxy settings...

and I was shown this message in a new tab:

"When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the
system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not
supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.

But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man
chromium for more information on flags and environment variables."
