Chrome is not running in background

"Continue running background apps" is checked. There is no Chrome entry in Startup applications. This command didn't work:

google-chrome --no-startup-window

Everybody is complaining how to disable chrome running in background and I can't enable it. Am I missing something?

Forgot to add that I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and Chrome 22.

There are a few things you can try:

1)You may try this command /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --no-startup-window

2)There's an option in Chrome's preferences to do that. In wrench menu, under the hood section, there's "Background Apps, Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" checkbox.

3)You can try to use Devilspie to help with this command sudo apt-get install devilspie and you can get more information here
