  ^^^^^^^^^^
That's not a cron command, that is some independent Gnome frontend. cron
only reads crontabs from /var/spool/cron/crontabs.

You create and edit crontabs by executing "crontab -e". For information
on how to set PATH for cron jobs, please see crontab(5). Anything else
you'll have to report against Gnome.

Regards,
Christian
