Bug Description
Binary package hint: computer-janitor
To reproduce the bug make sure that the accessibility profile is enabled and then in the terminal type:
sudo computer-
Computer janitor crashes immediately.
Joanmarie Diggs, a main Orca developer looked at the problem and suggested that since this problem occurs even without Orca the screen reader running, it is a computer janitor bug.
In her experience, the most likely cause is a thread outside the main thread which updates the visual component.
Note; because of known old unrelated problems, admin tools which require root permission when the accessibility profile is enabled can only be run from the terminal not from the menus.

I suspect that this bug is fixed in CJ 2.0, which currently is available only in my PPA:
https:/ /edge.launchpad .net/~barry/ +archive/ python
CJ 2.0 was rewritten to be single threaded in the main gtk code (and all system changing functionality is moved to a dbus service). If this is indeed a threading issue, the problem should be solved.
If you can still reproduce it with CJ 2.0, please describe the exact steps involved in "enabling the accessibility profile" in Lucid.
