That still fails to address the issue of X11 security and access to the server.

Plus it adds the additional problem that cron starts early in the boot
process, so it could easily be executing your commands _before_ the
window manager is started. (As a side note, I suspect this hack of
cron is a workaround for the travesty that is systemd.)

Your window manager provides a facility to solve this exact problem.
Just use it.
