Greg,

The attached mail from Bill Haneman last September should answer your question.

Hi:

It's come to my attention that some folks are unsure about the gconf key
used to enable loading of the GNOME accessibility libraries.  At the
moment this key doesn't have a user-visible dialog or checkbox for
activation, so in order to use it, you need to run gconftool-2 (or
perhaps gconf-editor).

gconftool-2 --help

will give some usage information

gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility

will report the current status of the 'accessibility' key; and

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

will set the value to "true".


The alternate method of enabling accessibility, via the GTK_MODULES
environment variable, is not recommended generally and is maintained
only for use by "pure gtk+" programs that don't know about gconf or call
gnome_init.


best regards,

Bill
