There is no trace in there for Chromium nor Qbittorrent, maybe they are

Hum... let's Google for the error. Look, some hits:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=5b264e09ccb90f85&hl=en
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=1b658e3471dea50e&hl=en
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22277
Check if any of those can help you with the Chromium error :-?

You can test with different arguments to run the GUI application with one
or other environment variables set, this can make indeed a difference.
