The croc will change the desktop background if you add in your script
before `gsettings` the following lines/commands:
PID=$(pgrep gnome-session)
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(grep -z DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
/proc/$PID/environ|cut -d= -f2-)
You will not need anymore to use in your crontab
Thanks for the suggestions. The issue became less and less frequent
until when a few months ago it somehow resolved itself. I didn't do
anything though; the script and the cron command have remained the same.

I see this has been here a while, but I had the same issue a few days
ago and was able to resolve it by adding the following to the command:
DISPLAY=:0 GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set
org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///path/to/background.jpg

Another way to trigger the wallpaper to change is to go into dconf and
toggle the draw-background checkbox in org.gnome.desktop.background.

The last few days this problem has become less predictable. Instead of
every day, this problem occurs every other day. I'm not experiencing the
issue today, but yesterday I did.
