Isn't it somehow possible to make chromium start a new process instead of letting the already-running one handle the new page? :-/ > So I have to somehow change the > instance of the autorun chromium window so that subsequently opened > windows inherit the changed value of instance.

This property is only ever set by the applications itself and must not be changed by anything else. Actually, not even the app itself may change its WM_CLASS while the window is mapped, ICCCM requires the WM to ignore thus changes (although it seems as if awesome might honor them...).
