Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
There is a know problem with python applications and at-spi, which is
the code that provides an accessible description of GTK widgets to
screen readers. If you try and update your GTK interface from a thread
that was not the one that called gtk.main(), then the entire Gnome
desktop locks up when your application exits. This always happens with
usb-creator-gtk if Orca is running.
While this is technically a bug somewhere deep down in either the
pyatspi code, or more likely at-spi-registryd, it would be great to have
usb-creator-gtk be accessible sooner than later. What it takes is a
fairly straight-forward, if not small, change in the apt callbacks.
Rather than updating GTK widgets directly, they should register a change
in some variables, and wake up the main thread so it can show the
updates.
