If I run

	env DISPLAY=:4 chromium

then I get another window in my background VNC session
(DISPLAY=:42) instead. There is no error message, just

Created new window in existing browser session.

Obviously $DISPLAY is ignored when chromium searches
for existing sessions.

This is more of an upstream issue.  Would you mind reporting it there?

You may also want to look through the command-line switches to see if
there is something that will ignore existing open browser sessions.

Best wishes,
