And *that* link refers to:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=175842
and
https://plus.google.com/u/0/100132233764003563318/posts/Y1s6T44Soby

And this is all from last February (it is April now).

The issue seems to be related to the required GTK version (rpm -q gtk2).

Here is today's version of the relevant code:
http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromium/chromium.git;a=blob;f=chrome/browser/ui/startup/obsolete_os_prompt_gtk.cc;h=a27746e4fd1d32d93867efc32784bff057c370bc;hb=3a9448cfd3ae19cc02ed441beaff4359d9925516

SL6 gtk2 is gtk2-2.18.9-12.el6.x86_64
required by google-chrome is: gtk_check_version(2, 18, 0)

So looks like we are okey, right? 2.18 present, 2.18 required.


But wait, there is more!

the g+ code snapshot has the function name "ObsoleteOSinfobar::Create",
the code I found looks completely different. So what is going on?

google search to the rescue, here it is:
https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/browser/ui/startup/obsolete_os_infobar_delegate.cc
and it has: gtk_check_version(2, 24, 0)

I do not know why codes at git.chromium.org and at src.chromium.org are so different.


Now, will the real source code for google-chrome stand up please.


P.S. One thing is clear now. It looks as if people who see the warning are running
chromium from chromium, not google-chrome from google.
