Many (if not "almost all") programs that spawn other programs via g_spawn_sync() or the like simply want to check whether or not the child exited successfully, but doing so requires use of platform-specific functionality and there's actually a fair amount of boilerplate involved. This new API will help drain a *lot* of mostly duplicated code in GNOME, from gnome-session to gdm. And we can see that some bits even inside GLib were doing it wrong; for example checking the exit status on Unix, but ignoring it on Windows. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679691
