  On every startup Onboard asks for enabling accessibility

Bug description:
  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.
