How to start Chrome always in "Incognito Mode"?

Question

So... I found a solution to be able to open Chrome on 12.04 in Incognito Mode by default (How do I make Google Chrome open Incognito by default?).

I can't seem to get it to open consistently in Incognito Mode with all the pages I have set to load on startup e.g. In OS X, I open Chrome, which defaults to Incognito Mode and loads all the websites I have set in the "Open a specific page or set of pages" preference. In Ubuntu I can't replicate that.

In Ubuntu/Linux unless you edit the .desktop file it won't work. Run the following:

sed 's/\/google-chrome/\/google-chrome --incognito/g' /usr/share/applications/google*.desktop

Is not efficient but will do the work.
