ok, i was able to narrow the problem down.

the problem is in some glx-initialisation routine.
glew tries to get the pointer to glXGetCurrentDisplay() by issuing
    glXGetProcAddressARB((const GLubyte*)"glXGetCurrentDisplay")

on my normal system (without chromium) this returns the address of the 
function call.
when running chromium, this calls returns 0


luckily (for me) i currently don't use the glx extension wrangler of 
GLEW, so i have no _real_ problems.

nevertheless i am wondering, why i don't get the correct address when 
using chromium (i guess it will turn into a problem, once somebody wants 
to use glew for glx extension checking in combination with chromium)

any hints?
