There is one more issue. Our process singleton detection (in windows)
only works with the full exe path so if you have two chromes one
running from the userprofile and one running from the programfiles dir
then they both can run and try to access the same profile. This is
not a problem if the use each a different profile, this is what
chromeframe does.
When running chromeframe and you also haver chrome installed from
google.com you basically have this two channel setup.
