You can run some graphical applications from within the mock chroot, so if you
have mock (and I suppose you must or else you couldn't build this at all) then
you should still be able to run the application unless it requires something
like hardware access, direct rendering or sound.

Set MOCKCFG appropriately (I use MOCKCFG=fedora-6-x86_64-core.cfg), do your
normal mock build, and then do something like

mock-helper yum --installroot $MOCKDIR/root localinstall
$MOCKDIR/result/*{i386,x86_64,noarch}.rpm

to install your freshly built packages and any runtime dependencies into the
chroot, then 

cp .Xauthority $MOCKDIR/root/tmp/.Xauthority
mock -r fedora-6-x86_64-core.cfg --debug -- chroot DISPLAY=$DISPLAY
XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.Xauthority sear

(or whatever your mock config and executable are called).

This works for me (on other packages) logged into my build machine via ssh.  I
don't know how this would work if you're running mock on the same machine your
display is on, but I suppose you could easily hack it to work.
