I have froze my whole session by getting the at-spi stuff to crash.
More concrete examples include eog not loading images anymore after
crashing at.
And I gotta say my crashes were random, happened in 2.20, 2.22.

Last time I asked, I was told that the a11y support was really evil
regarding crashes because of limitations of orbit/bonobo/something.
I'm against as long as it's not crash free, guaranteed.
