Hi!
I don't understand the reason why are you doing it (the creating new
process). If is it possible, you should avoid multithreading in a gtk
program. If you really need it, it should be enough to use threads in the
gtk program (see gtk faq).
In this case, I think, that you should call the gtk_exit() in
the last existing process, not in the newly created process - I'd rather
finish it in regular way. (exit()). When you call gtk_exit(), it should
deallocate all the resources used by gtk, and probably also close
connections between the gtk program and X server. That is probably the
reason for 'broken pipe', when the original process then wants to display
something ...
