Description of problem: gvim spews messages to standard error: ** (gvim:3472): WARNING **: failure: no device event controller found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vim-X11-7.0.168-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gvim Actual results: [zaitcev@lembas ~]$ gvim Pad GTK Accessibility Module initialized [zaitcev@lembas ~]$ ** (gvim:3484): WARNING **: failure: no device event controller found. ** (gvim:3484): WARNING **: failure: no device event controller found. Expected results: No extra messages. Additional info: This is a regression in this build. Messages are generated for every key press and release. Since I run gvim from command line a lot, it's a big deal for me.
I don't get those messages with the same vim version. You're running some kind of accessibility stuff, this message looks like it's coming from atk. I'll reassign to atk to get some comments from the maintainer
I think it's scim's fault actually. I logged in and out and the messages stopped. Scim has a daemon component, so I suspect an upgrade made daemon and libraries mismatched. I'm closing this.
Aww. It seems like a real bug after all. It starts happening after a certain time after login. I don't think I have any accessibility functions enabled. There's that silly message about "GTK Accessibility Module", and it better be suppressed, but it seems like a red herring.
This message does indeed come from at-spi. It indicates that the a11y registryd died for some reason.
Hilarious... Running registryd by hand (after it dies) terminates the login session. Anyway, now it should be running with ulimit -c 100000, and I hope you aren't trying any tricks with signal intercept, so we should know why it exists after 30 hours of uptime.

(In reply to comment #0) This happens also for other "GTK" based applications like "gedit". The annoying thing about this is that these warnings keep getting spawned to the console all the time pushing the "real" content beyond the window limits.
Is there a chance for this to get fixed any time soon? I was unable to get rid of at-spi. It's require by gail, and gail is required by control-center.
You guys are going to laugh really hard, but I found that the accessibility can be switched off by running gnome-at-properties (it's installed by control-center). That takes urgency off the issue.
I'm sorry. I thought you knew that.

Is this still valid any longer? If not, we can probably close this out...
I haven't had these warnings in a while .. Currently running vim-X11-7.1.266-1.fc9.i386.
