Hi David, We changed the way of starting at-spi-registryd in gnome 2.18. When gnome-session is started, it tries to start at-spi-registryd by g_spawn_async if A11Y support is enabled. When at-spi-registryd is started, it sets its IOR to XDefaultRootWindow as a property. gnome-session listens to this change to find if at-spi-registryd is started successfully. If gnome-session does not hear any change of property in 5 seconds, it will popup an error dialog.
There are some reasons that can cause the error dialog popup. Sometimes X can not pass the signal to gnome-session in time (normally happens after user killed X and login again). If you meet the error dialog every time, maybe because at-spi-registryd is not located at the place that gnome-session thinks (you can try to build gnome-session with "--with-at-spi-registryd-directory" option).
