Duh. I have automatic login enabled. I always forget about that... I just disabled it and tried again.
*Without accessible login enabled*, the at-spi-registryd process does not yet exist when I do as you suggest. *With accessible login enabled*, the first thing I see (before I can log in) is a dialog stating, "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one." Does that mean that at- spi-registryd has already crashed??? Regardless, I then tried to attach to each of the 2 at-spi-registryd processes that exist at that point and log in. Neither of those processes crashed, but I once again had the crash report icon in the notification area -- which leads me to believe that at-spi-registryd crashed as soon as gdm attempted to present the login dialog. Thanks for your help!! If you have other things you'd like me to try, just let me know. -- 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
