Adding the file won't help because it won't be able to contact the X server. 
So autolaunching should be failing anyways.

The tests should detect that D-Bus is unaccessible and simply abort, telling 
you to use D-Bus.

I'm sorry, but you can't run tests that depend on D-Bus running if it is not 
running. So don't run "make checks" inside your chroot.
