Chrome Beta for Linux 4.0.249.30 on openSUSE

I forgot my laptop at home today, so I was unable to install Chrome while I was at work. (yes, that’s an embarrassing story). But now I’ve gotten home and installed the RPM using zypper:
sudo zypper in google-chrome-beta_current_`uname -i`.rpm
After doing this, I launched Chrome using google-chrome and it put a smile in my face just knowing that it was in “beta”. Now lets hope that Google can get out of their 100 year beta cycle, and have a “stable” version out by mid next year.
Here’s a screenshot of the version, and version vs the most recent chromium via the Contrib Standard Repository

It’s been wonky ever since I upgraded to openSUSE 11.2.
Interesting bug, I do not experience the same with KDE 4.4.0 Beta 1 on openSUSE 11.2 running GTK 2.18.1
