You can find a small example that reads stuff from pipes via GIOChannels here:

http://scentric.net/tmp/spawn-async-with-pipes-gtk.c

The programs spawns wget and reads wget's stdout and stderr from pipes (stdout 
being the data retrieved in this case, and stderr being wget's error/status 
output). Maybe not the most brilliant example, but better than nothing ;)
