I actually meant that the O_CLOEXEC problem might cause warnings but
it would probably not cause Gtk applications to fail.  Anyhow, I have
applied a partial fix for the O_CLOEXEC problem now, so your test case
should work.

The autobuilder was failing for a few weeks because of a problem
caused by Ubuntu's build tools setting LDFLAGS
(http://plash.beasts.org/wiki/PlashIssues/Segfault).  It is now fixed,
but it took a while to debug that problem and that is why it also took
a while to get to the O_CLOEXEC issue.
