I'm using PuTTY with Windows to connect a remote Linux (Mint desktop) server. It's correct to forward Firefox, Banshee and other applications, however, when I want to use Google Chrome, it shows a message:Created new window in existing browser sessionAnd nothing happened. So, what could cause such a problem?
PuTTY X11 forwarding can't forward Google Chrome

$ google-chrome --help...   --user-data-dir=DIR          Specifies  the directory that user data (your profile) is kept in.          Defaults to ~/.config/google-chrome.          Separate instances of Google Chrome must use separate user data          directories; repeated invocations of google-chrome will reuse an          existing process for a given user data directory.You have an existing chrome process on a different display, and it's attaching to that process as it finds the existing data dir.Specify a different user-data-dir for your forwarded display, eg.$ google-chrome --user-data-dir=~/.config/putty-chrome &
