It thus seems the proxy settings somehow have been messed up, perhaps one time when I unceremoniously killed the app from the command line...

Hm, It seems I am wrong on the above. I tried adding --no-proxy-server to the settings in my Mate menu and then start the browser - failure with the same problem as before. I then went back to the command line and just started it with chromium-browser, without the --no-proxy-server argument and it starts fine.

So, it seems to have something to do with starting it from the desktop vs the terminal window.

Weird. Ideas?
