Well I'm running 14.04 and the problem is not solved on my install. I
also found the command that I thought I needed to run and it was this
command

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true

This did not fix the issue. i'm sure it is something simple I just don't
know what the problem could be. Thanks for your time and help.
