[Bug 1857252] [NEW] chromium 79 remote display broken

[mike Bernson]

Public bug reported:

Chromium 78 worked and things broke in version 79.

With chromium 79 when using the remote display (ssh for x forward) I get
the display forward but only a blank (white) window. Chromiumn does not
render anything into the window.

If I am at the console then every thing work normal. Also Firefox does
work for remote display. It just chromium 79 that has this problem.

Every thing worked with version 78.
