get quotes broken?

[Jeff Kletsky]

I recently had problems trying to run gnucash --add-price-quotes from a 
cron job.

If that is the case (or you are not running under X), you may need to 
start dbus, similar to

env `dbus-launch` sh -c 'trap "kill $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID" EXIT; 
/usr/local/bin/gnucash --add-price-quotes /path/to/file.gnucash'
