[Bug 335450] [NEW] GConf error when run as cronjob

[Homer Painter]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: simplebackup

Running sbackup as cronjob on Ubuntu 8.10 results in the following error
message:

/etc/cron.daily/sbackup:
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Not running within active session)

Google turned up this page about a similar error:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257658/how-can-i-make-a-fake-active-session-for-gconf

Applying the same fix mentioned there to the /usr/share/sbackup/sbackup
bash script fixed the problem on my system.  Patch is attached.  My
sbackup package version is 0.10.5ubuntu2.
