The best thing to do in your crons is to source the correct file in
~/.dbus/session-bus. The layout is $(cat /var/lib/dbus/machine-
id)-$DISPLAY. You could try all displays in the case of GConf.

Hi !
I think it is easier to get the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS from:
/home/myUser/.dbus/session-bus/
In this directory you find a list of files for each dbus (gnome?) session ...
You could either simply "source" it or otherwise add the variables in there to
your environment.

You set it in the env of gconftool-2.

Thanks for the advice. I was able to capture DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.
Now what do I do with it so I can call gconftool-2 from cron?

This is related to the move of gconf from corba to DBus.
Because gconf is now over the session dbus, you can't talk to it from
cron.
There's a way around this, which is to locate one process running in your dbus
session and reading the "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" env var from it; for
instance:
x
thank you for your bug report, that's not a bug though gconf just uses
dbus now so it needs a session bus running, you can run the command
using dbus-launch which should work correctly
