Description Daiki Ueno 2013-03-02 09:01:34 UTC
Currently X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase line is commented in /etc/xdg/autostart/at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop.  That means it is launched in "Application" phase, while other applications (e.g. caribou) which use at-spi bus may also be launched in "Application" phase, sometimes earlier than at-spi bus becomes ready.

Doesn't it make sense to run at-spi bus in earlier startup phase?  It seems that it was commented at:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/at-spi2-core/commit/?id=1089e7c3687a48bb7810c40d6c9ff37e7acd10a1
I couldn't find the rationale here.

I'm not sure why that change was made, either. I've reverted the commit for 2.7.91, although I wonder if the .desktop file is really needed--the bus launcher should be started on demand by dbus-daemon. Regardless, I don't want to remove it this close to 3.8 without having a reason for doing so.
