  atspi-event_main() hasn't been called.

What's new in at-spi2-core 2.3.90:

* At-spi-bus-launcher now emits PropertiesChanged signals from the correct
  interface.

  This prevents the desktop from locking up if an AT hangs or is suspended
  and has a keyboard listener registered.

* Fix a warning when a NULL object is returned as the detail of an event.

What's new in at-spi2-core 2.3.5:

* Fix for BGO#668334: Set correct end offset in atspi_text_get_attributes.

  until the ping is answered.

  GSettings key, if available and an initial property is not given on the
  command line.

* Fix for BGO#660947: Gracefully exit when already running, rather than
  triggering a SIGABRT.
