I think that if AccessX features haven't been used at this level,
the AccessX bit should be toggled back to off before starting the
user's X session. Then it's up to the desktop environment (if any)
to decide what to do.

Another solution:
# apt-get install xkbset
$ xkbset -a
See <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677173#168>.
This could be done in the user's ~/.xsession script or this could be
added into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ (not tried).
