If you follow that logic we would use accessibility themes and color schemes
by default. We don't do that because we acknowledge that the people needing
accessibility features are a minority. And this slow key feature _is_ 
confusing. And I don't find it user friendly to have to shut off everything 
some developer found useful for those that can't turn it off. KPersonalizer 
is the tool to enable accessibility features - it really shouldn't be 
default.
