Yes, I considered using it. Basically it has two important drawbacks:

1. With the use of a KMessageBox I cannot ensure that the message gets 
opened as the top-most window (which I think is important in this case)

2. The don't ask again-checkbox is somehow confusing:

Clicking "No" and "don't ask again" will leave the AccessX-features as they 
are and somehow disable the gestures. If the user has accidently switched 
an AccessX-feature on and does this when disabling the feature again it 
probably is not what he want.

Clicking "Yes" and "don't ask again" will lead to the state where the 
AccessX features are always changed without a confirmation. Again we want 
to be sure here that this is what the user wants.

That is why I will also add a small modification to the Accessibility KCM 
that allows the user to do exactly that.
