g_spawn_sync is called during normal initialization by init_gconf. here
is part of the backtrace:

strace tells me that emacs forks and tries to exec dbus-launch. The
warning message is printed right after dbus-launch finishes. I really
think this is another issue...

This is happening on a 64 bit arch linux. I'll try to open a bug
report...
