Other annoying Windows issues specific to glib: 1. GOption fails hard for filenames which are in a language different than your Windows. E.g. Chinese or Russian filenames on English Windows. The arguments passed to main() contain "?" in place of the Chinese / Russian characters and that's just not enough information to correctly identify the file. More detail in the bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522131 2. GApplication. Mentioned in the mail. This functionality is traditionally implemented using named mutexes and shared memory. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2285110/restrict-application-to-one-instance-per-shell-session-on-windows 3. GSettings using the registry. This means portable apps (in the sense of apps that you can carry with you on an USB stick: http://portableapps.com/) cannot use it, because they have to store the settings somewhere on the USB stick, not in the registry. It should be possible to use dconf on Windows.
