Hi Fredrik:

I would suggest moving everything back to 2.28.x and getting rid of anything slated for GNOME 2.29.x if you 
want stability right now.  GNOME 2.30 is still being developed via the 2.29.x development series and things 
can (and sometimes are) unstable.

Unfortunately, not all GNOME projects adhere to versioning their releases to match the GNOME releases (e.g., 
like we do with Orca - Orca 2.28.0 was for GNOME 2.28.0).  I believe at-spi is one of these, and you can 
infer from the '29' in 1.29.x that it is slated for GNOME 2.29.x.
