[Bug 1227173] [NEW] On every startup Onboard asks for enabling accessibility

[Till Kamppeter]

Public bug reported:

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook. The tablet mode
(touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) gets continuously
working better.

I use Onboard as on-screen keyboard to do text input on my convertible
in tablet mode (see bug 1210823). This works very well but there is an
awkwardness on startup. Every time when Onboard is started (in my case
by the laptop/tablet mode switcher script) a dialog pops up which reads:

----------
Enabling auto-show requires Gnome Accessibility

Onboard can turn on accessibility now, however it is recommended that
you log out and back in for it to reach its full potential.

Enable accessibility now?
----------

It gives me a "No" and a "Yes" button to answer. I click "Yes" to get
the keyboard. Then the keyboard works correctly for the rest of the
session (I have set it to show when I am in a text field and to hide
otherwise). It does not ask when I switch to laptop mode (which kills
Onboard) and back to tablet mode (restarts Onboard), but If I log out
and log in again, it asks again.

So it seems that it is not saved to be kept over sessions that I have
answered "Yes" to activate accessibility mode. So I am not sure whether
really Onboard is the culprit or perhaps gnome-control-center or gnome-
settings-daemon.
