 Unfortunately it's hard to see what to do with this report without
 pinning it down more.
 
 Some variables mentioned have been:
 
  * chromium
  * KDE
  * nvidia driver
  * flash plugin
 
 If you can reproduce this booting from a live cd (e.g., a Debian Live
 CD[1]), that could help.  If you can remember when this started
 happening and confirm your guess by trying to reproduce this with and
 without the upgraded package, that upgrade, that would also help.  If
 you can rule out the nvidia driver and flash plugin as causes by
 disabling them temporarily, that would be useful as well.

There are two questions:

1. Why does that service keep coming back even if I explicitly delete it? 
Could this be KDE's flag of Chromium as default-browser?

2. Why the 100% CPU and memory. Since problems with KDE 4.7.4 with Nvidia have 
been cited, I can boot up to nouveau and see if such problems reoccur.

Running Nouveau, the same thing did occur so it is not an Nvidia driver issue.

I'd suggest working with the kind folks at debian-user@ to come up with
a reproduction recipe for the relevant maintainers to try or to narrow
this down to a single package.

Thanks again and hope that helps,
Jonathan
