Bug#601163: at-spi: Crashes on start

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: at-spi
Version: 1.30.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

at-spi is crashing here on startup inside the Debian-gdm session:

(process:19577): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /scratch/build-area/glib2.0-2.24.2/gobject/gtype.c:2706: You forgot to call g_type_init()

(process:19577): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(process:19577): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
set_engine (client=0x0, engine=0x60e060) at gconf-client.c:268
268	  if (engine == client->engine)
(gdb) bt
#0  set_engine (client=0x0, engine=0x60e060) at gconf-client.c:268
#1  0x00007ffff3a27124 in gconf_client_get_default () at gconf-client.c:447
#2  0x0000000000408dfd in main (argc=0, argv=0x60e060) at registry-main.c:201

And indeed, adding g_type_init() at the beginning of registry-main.c's
main fixes the crash.
