[BRLTTY] the xw driver does not display

[timothyhobbs at seznam.cz]

OK.  Thank you Mr. Thibault,
You have been very helpfull and patient with me.    Now I'm getting some where.  It turns out that arch linux is having some kind of trouble with at-spi...
------------------------
$ ps aux | grep at-spi
timothy    888  0.0  0.0  43032  2888 ?        Sl   00:41   0:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2-core/at-spi-bus-launcher
timothy    892  0.0  0.0   3000  1240 ?        S    00:41   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/etc/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3
timothy    895  0.0  0.1  16924  3148 ?        Sl   00:41   0:00 /usr/lib/at-spi2-core/at-spi2-registryd --use-gnome-session
timothy   1149  0.0  0.0   3228   912 pts/0    S+   00:47   0:00 grep at-spi
------------------------
It seems that at-spi2 is running, but brltty is not happy with that:
------------------------
$ /bin/brltty -b xw -x as -n -e
BRLTTY 4.3 rev 5957 [http://mielke.cc/brltty/]

** (process:1041): WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup.

** (process:1041): WARNING **: Could not locate registry
brltty: SPI_init returned 2
------------------------------
and that  at-spi 1 does not want to run at all.
------------------------------
$/usr/lib/at-spi/at-spi-registryd 

(process:1040): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2715: You forgot to call g_type_init()

(process:1040): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(process:1040): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Neoprávněný přístup do paměti (SIGSEGV)
(Invalid entrance into memory)
-------------------------
Now it occured to me, that brltty shouldn't need at-spi at all.  Am I correct on that matter?  If this problem was limited to xw it would not harm me.  I'm just trying to get brltty to work at all...  I don't have a phisical braille device to test it on though.  So I tried:
--------------------
# brltty -b tt -d `tty` -B term=gnome-terminal -n
BRLTTY 4.3 rev 5957 [http://mielke.cc/brltty/]

** (process:1171): WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup.

** (process:1171): WARNING **: Could not locate registry
brltty: SPI_init returned 2
------------------
Sadly to the same results.  Failiure.
