Or perhaps g_error should not be used. I'm guessing g_error is meant to be used when something so bad happend the code can no longer even expect to show an error message to the user using its normal user interface. For example when catching a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS. That is not the case here; a normal error message to stdout and a non-zero exit code work fine.
