I've looking for why is SIGPIPE ignored in gksu process, and I found that it's caused by communication with gconfd server.
When a application connect to the gconfd daemon to get properties, the underlaying communication with CORBA it's ignoring SIGPIPE signal to avoid that if server crash, the process receive the signal and terminate.
