I just fixed this bug for the GDM 2.20.0 release.  Now you can specify
the location of the at-spi-registryd via the --with-at-spidir configure
argument.  Your distro will still need to use this flag when configuring
GDM to fix the problem.  I assume you can follow up with them on this?

No problem, you should now be able to work with your distro to fix the
problem using the configure option specified above.  Thanks for helping
us identify the fix for this problem.

Also, some other fixes have gone into GDM 2.20 that fix some gesture
listener crashing issues that should improve how well a11y works in GDM.
