Hi Nolan,

I didn't notice serious leak in at-spi-registryd. I will take a look at 
it these days.

You need to build gnome-session to start the right at-spi-registryd. But 
this is harder than just replace the system at-spi-registryd.

After you kill at-spi-registryd, the GUI event can not be passed to ATs, 
so it shouldn't be killed mid-session.
