------- Comment #12 from Dave Malcolm  2006-06-16 22:28 UTC -------
I've been using the two patches I attached (the first to pyspi, the second to
dogtail) as a workaround for this bug.

The first patch makes pyspi survive getting a NULL back from the
atspi-registryd for a child of the desktop, and handles it by returning None
back to dogtail.

The second patch then handles the None by ignoring the child, and not adding
anything for it to the computed list of children, when computing the "children"
attribute of Node.

So both patches need to be applied to fix this, and it's something of a
band-aid, rather than a fix for the underlying problem.  It does work, though -
I've been able to use dogtail for long periods without a restart with these
patches, and given how annoying this bug has been, I suggest applying the
patches - perhaps with comments.
