Most likely it won't. But we can make something like this:
#ifdef _WIN32
ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(),SW_HIDE);
#endif
before running popen(). (Ugly, but should do the trick.)

This is more serious. Not sure how to fix this well enough...

_popen() is listed in MSDN, so this one should be available with VC.

Yeah, hard to decide. Seems you're right and we should go back to glib. (But we
should make sure this doesn't break any distro again if they still use unfixed
glib version).

Bug description:
[Impact]
* Emacs24 does not startup in KDE
[Test Case]
* Install emacs24
* Set gtk3 theme to oxygen-gtk via systemsettings > Application Appearence >
GTK
* Run emacs24
* Install update
* Try and run emacs24 again
[Regression Potential]
* Minimal
* Upstream release for oxygen-gtk3 is only a bug fix release
If I try to run emacs23 in Kubuntu 13.04, (KDE 4.10.0) I am finding that the
GUI starts only some of the time.
If the GUI doesn't start then I will only see a process running in
htop or similar.
Starting emacs in a terminal window with the -nw argument or
installing the Lucid interface shows that emacs does run each time it
starts so the problem is either with the emacs GTK interface or the
GTK libraries.
Emacs24 exhibits the same problem.
