Why wouldn't we be able to use commands like that? There's no reason that g_spawn_async_with_pipes() shouldn't be able to kick off a complex shell command line. You'd just need to add the "/bin/sh" "-c" arguments before the command line string... I'm pretty sure that's what popen() does behind the scenes, anyway.
