debbie vs. chroot

A quick question:

When I start Chromium with debbie (or from within LXDE), it never remembers my preferences. But if I start it in chroot, everything works fine.

Any ideas what is going on?

Here is the output when I start chroot.


/sbin/debian: /home/user/.chroot: line 1: : not found
Chroot dir specified: /.debian
/media/mmc1/ed-squeeze-final.ext3 specified in ~/.chroot
/.debian has a qmount already!
/media/mmc1/ed-squeeze-final.ext3 already mounted on /.debian...
Everything set up, running chroot...

Thanks in advance.
