Bug Description
Chromium 78 worked and things broke in version 79.
With chromium 79 when using the remote display (ssh for x forward) I get the display forward but only a blank (white) window. Chromiumn does not render anything into the window.
If I am at the console then every thing work normal. Also Firefox does work for remote display. It just chromium 79 that has this problem.
Every thing worked with version 78.

Description of problem:
starting Chromium 79 (and also google- chrome- stable 79) through a ssh tunnel gives a blank (white) window. Actually it is possible to click on some buttons if one is able to locate them with the mouse without seeing them.
By Clicking on "Chromium Web Browser" in the top bar of the screen, it is possible to open a new window which is visible, but the window has not loaded any personal configuration (bookmarks, extensions etc.)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 79.0.3945. 79-1.fc31. x86_64
chromium-
How reproducible: always
Steps to Reproduce: chromium- browser"
1. ssh -X -f user@host "/usr/bin/
2. a blank (white) window opens
3. click on "Chromium Web Browser" in the top bar of the screen and select "Open a New Window"
4. a normal (visible) chromium window opens, but all personal configuration (bookmarks, extensions etc.) is not loaded
Actual results:
a blank (white) window opens first, it is possible to open a second window but without all personal configuration (bookmarks, extensions etc.)
Expected results:
a visible window is opened and all personal configuration is loaded.
Additional info:
chromium 78 works fine (as it has always done) over an ssh tunnel.
