This is a well-known problem. See this mailing list thread:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2011-November/msg00118.html
and try running the following command:
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true
and finally, be sure to post again to this mailing list if the above doesn't
help.
