Hi, I don't really know but my first gues would be there is a bug in the registry that can cause it to crash, and it may well be that gecko is particularly likely to excercise this bug. As for not being able to restore things I'd gues some sort of weird corba thing but that's just an off the wall gues. Here are some things to try * restart your xsesion * run the at-spi-registryd in gdb, you'll probably have to attach to it after it starts, and you probably want to run gdb out side of X incase when you suspend at-spi-registryd everything in your xsesion locks up until it starts again. If it crashes a stack trace would be interesting. * you could also try killing the registryd as well as orca and then * restarting both to see what happens.

The most often times this has happened to me is while running Thunderbird or Firefox. It seems like the Gecko stuff might be causing issues with Orca and these random crashes. Unfortunately, I don't have any real evidents to prove this but when the Mozilla Gecko stuff isn't running, these crashes hardly happen.

When I look at processes I see that at-spi-registry has been restarted or at least shows up toward the bottom of the ps list with a new process id. Even restarting orca does not seem to help in this case and so far all I have found that works is rebooting the machine. I am running Ubuntu Maverick with all updates. While I can still work at the console so it is not a show stopper it is annoying. Any one have any suggestions as to what might be wrong or even where to look?
