emacs and gconf troubles

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.
I'm having a small, low priority, trouble; more an annoyance in fact.

Since a while, if I start an X11 emacs from a terminal window, after I 
close emacs, the terminal window won't close with Ctrl-D; I have to 
close the terminal windows by hand.

With the latest upgrade, I see the following warning at emacs startup:

> (emacs:2267): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync()

I really don't understand what I should check...
Any help is appreciated.
