25 My assumption: Problem is caused by bad settings, which includes
26 extensions or themes. If problem goes away with a new/blank profile,
27 we know where the problem is.
28
29 Further, it's a way of working/debugging - you reset everything
30 to a known working set of things, which is the blank profile.
31 After that, you re-add things, until it breaks again. As soon
32 as it breaks, you've got your culprit.
