X is not available over chroot. I don't remember doing this but there is
info I 've seen .
Also the ubuntu hal/dbus are not running when you chroot. may be mount /proc
and /sys after chrooting.
chroot environment is not that easy to create, especially when trying to use
X, so I don't think you'll be able to just chroot and run something that
relies on ressources that are not available.
You have to provide all the ressources needed after chrooting. /proc
and /sys will give you some.

good luck
