I was able to do all up to here...

But I didn't really understand this bit I'm afraid. The only rdf files
under chrome/ are:

 chris@venus: chrome$ ls *.rdf
all-locales.rdf  all-packages.rdf  all-skins.rdf  user-locales.rdf
chris@venus: chrome$

Are they the ones you mean? If so, I've touched them.

Sadly this doesn't seem to work -- I still get the segfault when running
as a normal user.

Thanks a lot anyway :)
