Right; I kind of doubt it.  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?).
