Bug Description

Binary package hint: at-spi

I just applied the security update for Thunderbird then restarted my computer. After my computer booted back up, there is now an icon in the system tray where when you click on it, it says "Universal Access Preferences". I don't have this or any related program enabled System > Preferences > Startup Applications, and in System > Preferences > Assistive Technologies, I have assistive technologies turned off. There is also no relevant entry or service in the current runlevel. It just decided to start loading itself.

WORKAROUND:
* run gconf-editor
* Uncheck "desktop > gnome > accessibility > keyboard > enabled"
