Tray icon no longer or don't appears for crontab jobs (1.5.3, 1.3.3) #1955
Description
In the past, the tray icon has appeared when backup-job is run from the crontab. However, this now fails.
I can see the icon if I manually run from the CLI: /usr/bin/nice -n19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/bin/backintime backup-job.
However, having the exact same line in my (user) crontab fails.
I also tried launching the GUI in advance, then letting the crontab trigger, but there was still no tray icon.
