Bug Description

This issue is recurring again on Ubuntu MATE 16.04. It happens intermittently on two different machines, both fully updated. The assistive technologies are not loaded on startup (diabled in "Startup Applications" but it still occurs.

There was an old bug from 2010 which has now expired as has the related upstream bug.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi/+bug/477978

There are workarounds but these are hacks:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/issue-shutting-down-16-04-at-spi-registryd-desktop/5435
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2321728
https://askubuntu.com/questions/792638/ubuntu-mate-16-04-restart-shut-down-halts-due-to-a-not-responding-program-how-t

A proper fix would be welcome.

I note that all the recent reports linked to above relate to Ubuntu MATE only.

Seeing this message on each shutdown or reboot of 64-bit Ubuntu MATE 16.04.6 LTS:

How to remediate it?
