 +-------
 +The HOWTO doesn't work for me. First I tried Chrome 26 from Google website on Slackware 14 (32 bit). I could run and use binary, but a lot of places within browser were red squares/boxes only. Very ugly at least. I spent a lot of time searching for fix with no result. Now I've upgraded to Chrome 28 with the same disapointing. When I run chrome with more logging
 +
 +''chrome --enable-logging=stderr --log-level=0 
 +''
 +I could see a lot of messages like
 +
 +''[22079:22079:0804/203243:WARNING:resource_bundle_gtk.cc(96)] Unable to load pixbuf with id 6994
 +'' 
 +
 +I tried a lot and finally got fix by removing gdk-pixbuf2-2.26.1-i486-2.txz from system and compiling/installing the same package with no patches myself.
 +
 +Btw. I got into similar troubles with Graphviz/dot (png output didn't work) on Slackware 14 and simply recompiling Graphviz fixed the problem.
