problem is that dpy=0x0 ... will attach first patch to make registryd to not start when no DISPLAY env is found.

luke, could you figure if that's an issue and should be sent upstream or if the bug should be closed?

Yes, this is still an issue. I can cause at-spi-registryd to segfault when run from a text console, something it should not do. Will take this upstream and propose Alexander's patch, but there is probably a better solution.

Upstream approved the change, can we get it uploaded?
