Bug Description

Right now, in order to check if it is required to enable the accessibility support on unity, we are using gsettings.

Today we had a disccusion on IRC in order to move this to gconf. A extract:

<apinheiro> why don't use gsettings to check in the a11y is enabled?
<seb128> because the GNOME dialog doesn't write in gsettings
<njpatel> apinheiro, because the capplet isn't updating gsettings, it's just updating gconf
<seb128> so the key will never be set
<apinheiro> ok
<seb128> we still have GNOME 2.32
<njpatel> apinheiro, and because we don't know if other people's tools are also just updating gconf instead of gsettings
<apinheiro> thanks, no I understand
<apinheiro> so concluding:
<njpatel> so I'd like to just work with gnome as it is
<apinheiro> a11 enabled: use gconf as the dialog is updating it
<apinheiro> atk-bridge location: use gsettings as at-spi1 already has a patch with it

So although the atk-bridge location check will be still managed by gsettings, we need to move the "accessibility on" check using gconf.
