unfortunately, we have some intranet sites that "insecure" content; thus I really really want to start chrome with "--allow-running-insecure-content".
I "locked" chrome to the unity launcher, later on, I edited /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop and added this parameter.
But when starting chrome using the unity launcher ... it doesn't start in that mode. I had a closer look and saw that the .desktop file even says "--incognito", and no, chrome does start in normal mode.
Long story short: why is the desktop file content not relevant when starting chrome using the unity launcher panel?
you will probably have a local desktop file of chrome in
/home/yourname/.local/share/applicationsthat overrules the global one.If you edit that one, it should work.
