Ah, that makes sense. We had one report of schroot no longer working with gdm, but it wasn't clear why. > I've no idea whether you might want to do that or not in the default schroot > configuration, but I presume that using gdm3 will become quite common in the > future.

We try to keep what's mounted from the host as minimal as possible, and in this case it's specific to a single application. It's not required for any use case other than running X applications, so I'd rather keep it out of the default config. I am, however, collecting custom setup scripts and configurations for specific uses in a new contrib directory which I will install under /usr/share/doc. I can refer to this in README.Debian and/or the upstream docs and include the above mount options for gdm if that sounds OK. Maybe as a "desktop" profile. I also recently moved the setup script config files under /etc/schroot/default, so we could equally provide a /etc/schroot/desktop directory with the desktop-specific customisations already available. You would just need to set script-config=desktop rather than script-config=default (the default). Regards, Roger -- .''`.
