Patch 7.3.315

Problem:    Opening a window before forking causes problems for GTK.

Solution:   Fork first, create the window in the child and report back to the

	    parent process whether it worked.  If successful the parent exits,

	    if unsuccessful the child exits and the parent continues in the

	    terminal. (Tim Starling)
