Summary [GTK] run-gtk-tests leaves a zombie Xvfb process

Seems like calling exec() with shell like stderr/stdout redirections and "&" is wrong.

The symptom being: run-gtk-tests let it run ps aux |grep Xvfb phil 21096 3.0 0.1 63968 11340 pts/0 S 14:57 0:00 Xvfb :31 -screen 0 800x600x24 -nolisten tcp The Xvfb process is not killed. Seems related to exec and file handles somehow, but I lack the perl-fu to debug this further.
