  There was an issue with some earlier chrome versions and changes made
in kde. This may or may not be your issue.

  Please check the file:

   ~/.kde4/share/config/kioslaverc

 And make sure that the proxy port only has a colon between the host and
the port num. At some point kde made them spaces and chrome broke. Kde
could have broke too I don't know :-)

  SAldo, it seems kde provides a file but no API to read the file - kind
of a poor design.

  Anyway hand edit the file so it looks more like

   httpProxy=http://proxy.foo.com:3128

etc.
