I was fighting with this same thing last night! The issue is a package called xserver-xorg-legacy
detailed here #2875
A quick fix is to enter the chroot with
sudo enter-chroot -n CHROOTNAME
and run
sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-legacy
xfce will start after this.
As far as i can tell, this issue effects Stretch, Sid, & Kali-Rolling

@zguithues
I've tried this solution. It does work, but a new problem is that it doesn't resume after lid and open laptop again.
swors
on 7 Jul 2017
It seems to be ok after "sudo apt remove --purge xserver-xorg-legacy; sudo apt remove --purge xfce4-power-manager"
swors
on 7 Jul 2017
Thanks for the tip @swors !
I hope we can get a fix for this issue that's less hacky than current workarounds. I trust @dnschneid has a plan as this is more of a debian issue than an xfce issue.

Audio from the chroot will now be forwarded to CRAS (Chromium OS audio server),
through an ALSA plugin.
Future Chromium OS upgrades may break compatibility with the installed version
of CRAS. Should this happen, simply update your chroot.
You can flip through your running chroot desktops and Chromium OS by hitting
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Back and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Forward.
You can start GNOME via the startgnome host command: sudo startgnome

+1 on removing xserver-xorg-legacy. worked with stretch/lxde. chronos 63/crouton latest as of today. prior to finding this fix i tried jessie with at least three different targets xfce, lxde etc. same behavior.
so glad to know there's a fix.
update. it works but i can't suspend while in chroot. dies and have to hard reset think there's another ticket about this that suggests updating locale to utf8. didn;t work for me either

Thanks for the command to enter chroot.
Tried to remove xserver xorg legacy but not installed.
Only xserver-xorg newest versio 17718. How to downgrade?

@githubgnulinux,
I ran into the same situation, it reported xserver-xorg-legacy was not installed.
When I looked at the error when I ran the prepare.sh script I got more details that told me, in my case, that the conflicting package was xserver-xorg-legacy-hwe-16.04 so I removed it with -
sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-legacy-hwe-16.04
sudo /prepare.sh
The prepare.sh script ran and completed this time.
Hope this helps,
