Francesco, have you seen the new assistive tools panel[1] available in
gnome-control-center 2.31.x? (maybe only on git master by now)

I wasn't able to build it in my jhbuild sandbox, but opening the
gtkbuilder file in glade it seems it provides a new way to manager and
start a11y tools.

For instance, in Typing tab, you have the ability to turn on and off the
"typing assistant" (I suppose the program you can select in Default
applications panel)

Due to this new way to manage a11y tools, maybe hiding onboard is not a
big issue.
