If your /home is bind-mounted in the chroot, use dchroot -d, which preserves 
the required environment variable ($DISPLAY).

If your /home is not bind-mounted in the chroot, then you'll need to use 
remote access by configuring your X server to listen on a TCP port and 
setting $DISPLAY accordingly.

For daily use, I recommend bind-mounting /home and /tmp in the chroot.  Making 
a dchroot'able chroot is a bit of a PITA, but this wiki page [1] show an easy 
recipe.  I've used it several times succesfully.

If your chroot is only for testing use, then you might want to setup your X 
server to listen on TCP.  Be sure to firewall it from the outside.
