Bug#812205: libnotify-bin: notify-send does not work in crontab

[Szőgyényi Gábor]

Package: libnotify-bin
Version: 0.7.6-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to use the notify-send with the CRON scheduler.
Like this:


27 15   * * *   szg     notify-send "Message text" -t 10000


The command works in terminal. From logfiles, the cron runs the command in
time, but the message does not appear.
