Chrome crash on startup, after Kubuntu 14.04.2 fresh install, may be related to bug 1424263, which also affects me

I downloaded and installed Google Chrome 64 bit official deb, and when I get this blowout in the command line:

$ google-chrome-stable
[1:1:0306/095859:ERROR:image_metadata_extractor.cc(111)] Couldn't load libexif.
[7748:7748:0306/095859:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(198)] GTK theme error: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk",
[7748:7748:0306/095859:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(198)] GTK theme error: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk",
Aborted (core dumped)

Since I have not found the problem reported somewhere else in Google Chrome's product forum, I posted a bug report: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/chrome/report-a-problem-and-get-troubleshooting-help/linux/Stable/LniyR9bsfus, but then I also tried to install Steam and ended up on the page with the bug number 1424263: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1424263.

I guess the two bugs may be related in the sense that the update of the Kubuntu install disk may have triggered them both.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
