I am getting a similar error when trying this from a cronjob.
So how do you guys get it to work in cron?

I never managed it!
I ended up up using "back in time"[1] which came packaged with the latest
Fedora. I
also in the past used rdiff-backup[2] and got that to work with a cron job.

I solved this by installing xvfb which is essentially a /dev/null Xwindow and
prefixing the crontab entry with xvfb-run
My crontab entry now reads
0 3 * * * xvfb-run python /opt/flyback/flyback.py --backup
