My proposed fix to Chromium start-up script wasn't foolproof. One can
naturally also export CHROMIUM_FLAGS instead of defining it in
~/chromium.init.
Passing arguments via a variable is a bad idea if one wants both to be
reliable with odd input (i.e. accept arguments with spaces (as in the

When a string is put in a shell variable, white-space loses its
syntactical information.
Merely quoting $CHROMIUM_FLAGS in the launcher won't do, since we rely
on word splitting to split arguments, as noted in #3.
The launcher has a #!/bin/sh shebang, so it's meant as a POSIX compliant
shell

Title:
Chromium start-up script doesn't
Space characters in chromium flags seem to be always parsed even if
they are escaped. (Of course, it must be a bug.)
When splitting all flags in $CHROMIUM_FLAGS by newline and running chromium
after IFS=$'\n' , it works.
(And do not escape spaces. like --user-agent=foo bar , not
Uh, I've tried that, but it keeps splitting the argument values no
matter how many slashes I add (they end up interpreted as part of the
URL -- for instance, instead of "B" chromium gives me "B/" in the
address bar). I've been trying to understand what bash is doing, but
it's really eluding me.
I agree that it's tricky.
The two solutions I can think of is your idea of an array, and assumption
that the variable should go through two levels of interpretation.
The way that makes current scripts and files still work is the latter. It
would go like this:
If there is a special character in
I noticed that last night =( so sad how often I seem to be surprised by
how shell expansion works.
Best I could come up with was transform CHROMIUM_FLAGS into an array and
use "${CHROMIUM_FLAGS[@]}" in the calls instead. Sorry for the failed
patch attempt.

Try with more than one value in the variable.
