You can either remotely run gnome-at-properties on the remote machine
(requires an X connection), which contains the on/off switch, or run the
following commandline on the remote machine:

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility --type=boolean
false

This should work for any apps you subsequently run, but it won't affect
already-running apps.
