Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2011-01-21 04:28:11 UTC 
(From a related email conversation with Mike Gorse)

It seems that whereas pyatspi raises LookupErrors when an AT attempts to access an object which no longer exists, pyatspi2 raises RuntimeErrors. As a result, with pyatspi2, Orca can become unresponsive.

Sadly, accessible objects go away on us fairly often. We handle the LookupError's explicitly. Perhaps we need to do the same for these RuntimeError's.
