[wp-testers] "Enable Gears" button not working in Google Chrome

[Kirk M]

Is there a Google's Chrome user amongst our testers here? I've noticed 
that if Google Gears is not enabled on a site, "pushing" the "Enable 
Gears" button, when viewing in Chrome, does not work--nothing happens. 
This used to work fine and the ironic thing is that the WP 2.7 Admin 
renders best when using either Firefox and now Chrome (except minor 
aliasing problems on the buttons) out of all the 4 main browsers today.

This is what I get from the Chrome's Java Console when I "Push" the 
"Enable Gears" button:

"Uncaught TypeError: Object [object HTMLObjectElement] has no method 
'getPermission' http://sitename.***/wp-admin/js/wp-gears.js?ver=20080905 
(line 21)"

This call out is the same for all three sites I tested this on. All are 
currently running WP-2.7 RC1-r10041.

Could someone more "in the know" test this in the latest "Official" 
build of Chrome-0.4.154.25 (or the "Dev Channel" build 0.4.154.31) and 
see what they think. I don't know if this is a Chrome problem of a WP 
2.7 problem to be honest about it. And I'm sure Chrome is going to get 
much more popular sooner than people think. It works really slick with 
the WP 2.7 Admin.
