gdm 2.30.4 stops " export DISPLAY=:0 " working

Description
I have a Bash script that every couple of hours checks for & downloads my updates and then displays them with conky for a few minutes. It recently stopped working though. The script itself is still working fine but "export DISPLAY=:0" is not doing anything and hence conky isn't being displayed. I've managed to track the problem down to gdm 2.30.4-1 somehow interfering with the 'export' cmd. Downgrading to gdm 2.30.2-2 has fixed the problem but its obviously not an ideal soloution Running Arch x86_64. All latest Gnome pkgs
Version: 2.30.x
