Description

Got the warning in the title when I run the terminal.

This could be an identifier for a specific strategy or process within the Flatpak environment. It suggests that this error is occurring within a preloading step, to load certain libraries or configurations before the main application runs.

The waitpid function in Unix-like systems is used to wait for changes in a specific child process's state (usually its termination). This warning indicates that there's an override of the waitpid function in place, which does not consider process groups. In Unix-like operating systems, processes are often grouped, and certain operations can be applied to the whole group. Ignoring groups could mean that this override of waitpid is only monitoring individual processes, not entire groups.

It would help a lot if that could be fixed. Cheers
