Emacs Throwing Errors On X

[Tim Daneliuk]

Some time ago, emacs started doing this on startup under X:


(emacs:65141): 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_spawn_sync(); either
don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed
to get connection to session: Command line `dbus-launch
--autolaunch=cd85f2237549bffeda2c670600026934 --binary-syntax
--close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 2655224: )

(emacs:65141): 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_spawn_sync(); either
don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.

Other Relevant Info:

FBSD 8.2-STABLE (But it happened prior to this release as well)
emacs-23.2_4,2
gconf2-2.32.0_2
