[Bug 1142213]

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa]

yeah well. More ifdefs ... not sure I want that. Especially if it is to
bypass a bug that is present in only one _minor_ release of glib.

The only advantage of keeping popen is if other (future) versions of
glib break, which the suggestion you propose would not prevent either
...

So in the end, gspawn it should be, and gspawn only, I'd say, assuming
that upstream is reliable. (especially a low level library such as glib)

And too bad for the systems running with broken glib (in fact, I expect
that if it also breaks pidgin, distros would be quite quick at patching
glib)
