Regardless though, I filed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701538 Are there any other blocking issues for Emacs using the GLib mainloop? If that's the only one I can probably get around to doing a patch this week. I suspect though you could simply not report stopped status, and not break any real world programs. The only thing I can think of is a multiprocess application which sends SIGSTOP to children (but why would they do that?).
