Running 'chromium' locks up machine



I finally got "www/chromium" built but upon running it for the first
time, its window didn't quite finish rendering and the system gradually
froze until only the (PS/2) mouse pointer could move but not affect any
visual elements.

The (also PS/2) keyboard was unresponsive so the only way to regain
control was a hard reset.

I suspect the issue is 'dbus'.  I seem to recall seeing some message
about that in the terminal window from which I ran 'chromium', but
couldn't read it entirely before 'chromium's window obscured the terminal.

ISTR that dbus-using applications usually try to launch it if they find
that it isn't currently running.  Do I need to ensure it's running before
starting 'chromium'?

Anyone else have problems running 'chromium'?

In case it matters, as mentioned in PR pkg/59164, I built my 'chromium'
after re-enabling "dbus" for _only_ "devel/at-spi2-core" and re-enabling
"gtk3-atk-bridge" for "x11/gtk3".  Was this sufficient, or should "dbus"
be re-enabled on other dependencies of "www/chromium"?
