- get the .Xauthority entry line for the terminal from which you are running the lgp login command by issuing: xauth list $DISPLAY
- start the chroot lgp login
- run apt-get install xauth
- run xauth add <.Xauthority entry line>
- type export DISPLAY=<you DISPLAY env variable outside the chroot>

- lgp login
- /root/xsetup.sh
- the script asks for the xauthority entry line
- the script asks for the value of display

add commentI've been able to run a X11 app from within a lgp login chroot:
Note: DISPLAY will be exported by default in 0.16.0.
I'm not convinced to put that into lgp. The most of tested packages don't require x11 and it puts a lot of new packages by installing xauth (and so x11 stuff). That will be not a minimal chroot afterwards. Nevertheless, I will see if I can put easily the .Xauthority entry line in the chroot somewhere.
I am -1 on installing xauth by default in the chroot. +1 on adding a script that does the above. Scenario would be:
could be easily done with pbuilder >= 0.194 but requires manual step till that. I think to use a script instead of hook to resolve the ticket.
