Hello!

I considered switching from emacs23 to emacs24 over the 
christmas-holidays.. So I removed emacs23 and installed emacs-devel via 
ports. Emacs runs fine, in terminal, but it crashes my whole X-system when 
I try to start it as X-client... The error message tells me that there is 
a glib-problem: "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."

I have emacs-devel installed, and glib-2.28.8_2.

I am runnig xmonad as WM, but it happened on awesome as well..

Does anyone know what I can do to get emacs to work as X-client? ;)

Thanks in advance!
