Once it's loaded, press control + M to invoke the profile selection menu. I have tried this but it doesn't do anything. To be more specific, I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with Chrome 10.0.648.133 installed. – None – 2011-03-14T10:13:46.763

In the meantime, Chrome has implemented a profile manager.

If you want to SET different chrome profiles in the ubuntu quicklist, I think that this is the best solution, it works for me:

Run the commands:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

add the following codes:

X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=Work;Personal;Three

[Work Shortcut Group]
Name=New Work Profile window
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-udd-profiles --user-data-dir=.config/google-chrome/Work %U
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[Personal Shortcut Group]
Name=New Personal Profile window
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-udd-profiles --user-data-dir=.config/google-chrome/Personal %U
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[Three Shortcut Group]
Name=New Third Profile window
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-udd-profiles --user-data-dir=.config/google-chrome/Third %U
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[No Security Shorcut]
Name=Touch no web security Profile
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-udd-profiles --user-data-dir=.config/google-chrome/Third --disable-web-security --touch-events %U
TargetEnvironment=Unity

Save and close the file. Restart Unity

unity --replace
