interactive process is started on another user's 'desktop'

No one responded to my message, below (on 10/1/2007). I've got a
production system not doing what it is supposed to do until I get this
worked out... and I don't have a clue where to start looking. Did I
provide enough information? Anyone have any ideas how I can get cron to
spawn the interactive application on the current desktop (rather than
one that is not currently being used?)
Thanks =)
