No clue here.  I don't run X on any of my production systems.
And CentOS isn't my desktop distro.

The Fedora Project [0] may maintain Chromium builds for EL6.  I know that
in the past they've maintained Chromium builds for Fedora.
It actually seems like someone [1] might be gearing up to do just that for
EL6.

Report back if you give that repo a try as others have indicated on the
"firefox problem" thread that they use Chrom(e|ium) on CentOS 6.
