Yes. That is g_child_watch_add(). I looked at the code and saw that  
the viewer is launched when lilypond is done. If this is an export  
then why would we need to run anything after lilypond for a png or PDF  
except deleting the mess of files that are created in order to render  
a png. This used to be created in the .denemo directory and moved and  
renamed into the destination diretory. The behavior I am observing on  
my system is that it creates a lily file with a filename.png.ly kind  
of name in the destination directory. The png is created via lilypond  
with a name like filename.png_.png. Then denemo is trying to do  
something else with it (I have not found this portion of the code).  
Then I see an error message on the terminal saying that file \blah 
\blah.png can't be found. Replace blah with hex. Is denemo still  
trying to rename the png. It also leaves a mess with all the temporary  
in the destination diretory. The png is actually being produced though  
but with an incorrect name.
