2.  The pango warning can already be observed with the current Cygwin
emacs after the recent update of the GNOME libraries.  To reproduce,
install the emacs-X11 package and start emacs with the command `emacs&'
in an xterm window.

I cannot reproduce this.  Does installing font-cantarell-otf help?
Perhaps another font?

I can reproduce it, in fact almost every gtk-enabled application spits
that out.  I tried stracing, and I think (but I'm not sure) that the
warning appears after pango tries to load
/usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.dll ->   there is no
/usr/lib/pango directory on my system, and it seems that no package in
cygwin or ports repository provides it.

That's the clue I needed.  I switched pango to builtin modules over a
year ago in Ports to help minimize fork() errors, but that didn't reach
the distro until now.  If I'm right, removing /etc/pango/pango.modules
should fix it.

That fixes it.  Thanks.

Unless I do:

GSETTINGS_BACKEND=memory emacs&

I get the following error:

$
(emacs:4048): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a 
child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD 
was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in 
the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or 
don't set the SIGCHLD action.

I have no /etc/pango/pango.modules file

Removing /etc/pango/pango.modules was to get rid of a pango warning that a lot of people were getting. Yaakov explained how to get rid of the error you're talking about here:
