Possibly 2.16.2 was released with a version of gnome-session that 
doesn't include the corresponding changes to the way at-spi-registryd is 
launched.  If so, that would explain the problem (there's a bug reported 
that atk-bridge does not fail gracefully if the registry was not 
launched by the session as expected).   Fix would be to either 
retroactively branch at-spi for gnome-2.17 or to backport the 
gnome-session patch to the 2.16 branch (assuming that the session patch 
didn't get applied to both branches when previously committed).
