No, not the same, see below...

Hmm.  Debian Wheezy has Chromium-Browser 20.0.1132.57.  I might try that 
soon.

Indeed that is what I meant, only that back when I last tried it, Chrome 
had an option like "advanced settings" that you had to click before the 
change proxy settings button becomes available.

And this is the tab I only get to see after killing all x2go-related 
processes on the client and reconnecting, as in the very moment when I 
click the button, vcxsrv goes "zap" on me and dies with the error 
message shown in my message from back in May.

Well, since I have one box running Wheezy, I guess I'm going to give 
both the latest Chrome and Wheezy's Chromium-Browser a try soon.

Again, thanks for the information you gathered and shared.
