I use startx to start X11, then run e16 wm. For some time, every time I start emacs from a terminal I see:

 (emacs:50055): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_s pawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.
 
 I build emacs (and e16) from ports, and update mostly every week.
 
 >emacs --version
 GNU Emacs 23.2.1
 
 >pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion
 2.26.1
 
 Rebuilt emacs recently (Nov 29) and still see the same warning.
 
 >emacs -nw 
 doesn't seem to have the problem.
 
 >emacs -q 
 still does have the problem (not my init file).
 
 Seems that there is some build configuration problem, or perhaps a bug in emacs, however other than the annoying warning all seems ok.
 
 Not sure if this is affected by dbus...
 ps | grep dbus
 49982   3  I      0:00.00 dbus-launch --autolaunch=3b2621782174a28397a59dca0000
 
 Any ideas?
