Hi all,
I try diligently to find questions already answered, but this one has me (and Google search) stumped.
…first, everything was working fine…
On Saturday, I did a couple of things during the day:
I poked around the (Gnome: Computer> Control Center > Appearance) settings because Google Chrome has a light grey slider bar on a white background, and it’s hard for my old eyes to see. Normally, my “clearlooks” setting give me blue slider/mouse pointer; in Google chrome it does not.
Second, I installed DropBox 6.7 using the “compile from source” instructions. …as there are not OpenSuse instructions, otherwise.
I followed the DropBox instructions (not really very difficult) then I logged out and logged back in, per the instructions.
Then, no Google Chrome.
I tried using Yast to uninstall dropbox and chrome. I used the command line to uninstall dropbox, opposite the README instructions that come with the cited dropbox download.
Still no Chrome.
I deleted the .config/google-chrome :: nothing
I uninstalled dropbox and chrome and installed chromium instead :: nothing
Chrome starts, asks me which search engine to use, the crashes. When I try from the command line, with --verbose, I get this:

I’m pretty sure it was the DropBox install… Now, how can I get Chrome back?
