Ok, I may have misunderstood the question, as my answer related to
g_io_channel... usage.  

If I am back on track, the standard daemon model is based on my
interpretation of google results where like these:
http://www.linuxprofilm.com/articles/linux-daemon-howto.html
http://www.enderunix.org/documents/eng/daemon.php .  Where a particular
sequence of startup steps are repeated over and over throughout multiple
search hits.  The summary statement "gnu standard structure for a
daemon" is solely my observation, and not official.  

Additionally, this daemon search lead me to look for additional info on
linux signals and posix threads; where the "Linux Journal" and "Advanced
Linux Programming" yeided the best answers.  Here are couple links
related to signal handling with multiple posix threads -
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2121, and
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3985 .

I hope this is what your after.

James,
