We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using
currently supported versions of Chromium and Ubuntu? Please let us know
if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be
left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
chromium-browser deletes modified autostart files
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Chromium does not have X session support; see
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23001
However, if you configure it to run in the background, then it
installs a ~/.config/autostart/ file. This combined with configuring
to restore windows on startup would give effectively session
management, but for one small problem: the autostart file is created
with --no-startup-window. This makes sense, because the configuration
item is to run Chromium in the background.
However, if I then edit the command in gnome-session-properties, then
on next startup, Chromium REMOVES the autostart file! This is bad
behaviour: apps should not modify or remove configuration files once
the user has edited them (for example, consider the management of
configuration files under /etc when packages are upgraded).
Hence, if Chromium were simply prevented from changing the autostart
file if it is user-edited (i.e. has non-default contents), then it
would be possible to get effective session management, even without
explicit support for XSM.
