Hmm, I think I recall now this did not solve the problem. I think the commandline equivalent for those menu options are the following: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard stickykeys-enable false gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard slowkeys-enable false # to disabble accesibility altogether gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard enable false Although I think you will not have success with either of these. I think culprit is the login manager, not the desktop. Are you using GDM? I think that is responsible for this issue. I use lightdm now, I think that is how I eventually solved my issue.
