The rationale behind this configuration is that it is the directory where the X session perms database is stored at runtime in Archlinux. After mounting /var/run in the chroot, I am able to run WINE programs perfectly, but only if I am *in* the chroot. schroot launch produces the same errors. As a speculation: perhaps the schroot failure is caused because the chroot "user", although sharing the same name, groups, uid's and gid's as my 64bit user, is not seen as "logged in" by the system when schroot launches the chroot WINE. Still looking into this one, any helpful pointers are welcome. I will post any solution, if discovered, both here and on the Archlinux wiki. Bryan
