Since the behavior has been seemingly unpredictable, I took some time today trying to reliably reproduce it. Here's what I have come up with. Not sure if it helps....
1. Boot 2. Launch Orca from the Applications menu 3. Quit Orca with Insert Q At this point Python crashes (attempted to get a backtrace -- attached). 90% of the time, At-spi-registryd does not immediately crash (no dialog; nothing appearing in /var/crash). The other 10% of the time it does. 4. Reboot at-spi-registryd crashes (log appears in /var/crash). I can reliably reproduce this on two machines. -- Edgy: at-spi Crashes frequently https://launchpad.net/bugs/56452 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
