New issue 5070 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Multiple Profiles Prototype: Default  
profile will not show up in browsers running in non-default profile
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5070

I am on the verge of committing the multiple profiles prototype work to
Chromium trunk. There is one known issue with the current implementation.

The prototype of multiple profiles works by using the user-data-dir
functionality. We create sibling folders of the "User Data" folder for new
profiles. Example:
User Data
User Data-Munjal
User Data-Finnur
User Data-Scott

This assumes that the original user data folder name is "User Data". This
is fine for Chrome installs, but is not fine when the user data folder
doesn't start with the expected prefix. For e.g. in tests, or installs
where this behavior is changed.

The only known problem in such cases is that when Chrome is running with a
non-default profile, the default profile will now show up in the list of
profiles.

This is fixable by storing some state information for each profile, but the
prototype right now is stateless.
