It's working fine for me here.  I installed gdm3 and set
  script-config=desktop/config
for my chroot, and then this is /etc/schroot/desktop/fstab:

----------
# fstab: static file system information for chroots.
# Note that the mount point will be prefixed by the chroot path
# (CHROOT_PATH)
#
# <file system>	<mount point>	<type>	<options>	<dump>	<pass>
/proc		/proc		none    rw,rbind        0       0
/sys		/sys		none    rw,rbind        0       0
/dev            /dev            none    rw,rbind        0       0
/home		/home		none	rw,bind		0	0
/tmp		/tmp		none	rw,bind		0	0

# If you use gdm3, uncomment this line to allow Xauth to work
/var/run/gdm3	/var/run/gdm3	none	rw,bind		0	0
----------

So long as you run schroot with -p to preserve the environment,
it works for me.  The last line is commented out by default, and I
did uncomment it first.  The last line is the only difference
between the default and desktop fstab (if you leave that line
commented, they are identical unless you customised them at all).

Did you find anything more about what wasn't working?  You can
run with "-v --debug=notice" to get more information if something
is failing.


In the next release you can also set
  preserve-environment=true
and then the -p can be omitted as well.

Roger
