Have you tried removing Chrome in Synaptic package manager and then 
reinstalling it from the .deb file? I've seen this happen with other 
applications for example FCITX where the installation was corrupted and I could 
not find the shortcut to it under accessories or even launch it through the 
terminal.

Once I removed it from synaptic and reinstalled it appeared and functioned 
properly.

Thanks Andre,

Unfortunately Chrome does not appear on the 'Internet' pop-up menu ( I have 
Firefox and Midori there), and I don't have it as a desktop shortcut either... 
I am figuring out how to get it to those two places, although it should appear 
under 'Internet' by default after installation.

Steve,

BTW - I think the installation of libappindicator1 is the key here.
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libappindicator1 says "A library to allow 
applications to export a menu into the panel"
and if trying to dpkg the deb file *before* libappindicator1 I get an error 
(libappindicator1 is a dependency of Chrome).

 
 Steve,

I'm just throwing this out here because
how I install Google Chrome seems so different:

[32-bit]
cd /tmp
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libappindicator1 sudo dpkg -i 
google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

[64-bit]
cd /tmp
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libappindicator1 sudo dpkg -i 
google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

It's always added itself to the menu just fine.
However, Chrome also seems to set itself as the default web browser, even 
though I tell it specifically *not* to (my own preference).
So, after install, I have to run sudo update-alternatives --config 
x-www-browser to change the default setting to *keep* Firefox as default.

Eric
