Comment 3 for bug 562776

For the record, I checked the at-spi code, and it seems fine to me. One thing that we could try is to add an XSync (display, False) right after the XChangeProperty() call, just in case the property otherwise lands too late. Otherwise we'd need to add some logging to GTK to check whether panel/nautilus/etc. actually see the root property when they start up. This should tell us whether the race condidtion is in the property, or trying to talk to at-spi-registryd which isn't fully operational yet.
