Sorry for the delay in replying.
Cron is not suitable for launching GUI, but you could do this if you wanted
to:

(run gedit every 5 minutes ;-))
* / 5 * * * * env DISPLAY =: 0 gedit

I decided to give up also because cron is about to be abandoned in favor of
Systemd, and also it was not my problem I do not administer any system, but
if I have a similar problem and I cannot solve it, do not doubt that I will
not come here to to ask :-)
