I'm having the same problem even after trying the workaround on 
http://code.google.com/p/switchy/wiki/LinuxSupport

Getting this in the error log:
[14:47:20] [info] - Extension Info: v1.6.3
[14:47:20] [info] - Browser Info: 5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US)

[14:48:23] [error] - Plugin error: Your Linux distribution isn't supported yet. 
Currently only Gnome and KDE based distributions are supported.

My window manager is WindowMaker. I run chrome from a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
LC_ALL="ja_JP"
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=Default

export LC_ALL LANG LANGUAGE
GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus" /usr/bin/chromium-bin --enable-vertical-tabs

gconftool-2 -g /system/http_proxy/host
127.0.0.1
