Emacs on Gtk3.8

[Achim Gratz]

Since openSUSE Tumbleweed upgraded to Gtk3.8 process handling in Emacs
(both 24.3 and 24.3.50) is broken.  The issue manifests itself in a
failure to recognize that a process started from Emacs has in fact
terminated (it lingers as a zombie) and Emacs spinwaits.  Ctrl-G lets me
regain access to Emacs, but the high CPU utilization doesn't stop.

On current trunk the only way to stop the madness is to exit Emacs (it
will ask to kill the running process which actually doesn't run
anymore).  On Emacs 24.3 it is usually possible to kill the process
buffer to get the CPU back to normal, in a few cases I had to
kill-process the (already finished) process.  This at least allows to
continue working without having to restart Emacs.

Before I open a bugreport, is there anything I could/should do?


Regards,
Achim.
