13.10 - Chrome won't start from the launcher - Ask Ubuntu

13.10 - Chrome won't start from the launcher - Ask Ubuntu:

For me in 14.10 using 39.0.2171.36 beta (64-bit), a Chrome extension, Google Mail Checker Plus Classic, had created a google-chrome.desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications.

I renamed this to google-chrome.mailchecker.desktop, logged out and then in, and my launcher worked again.
