Ding! Yes, of course.
The user should NOT have to state they want AT support for
accessibility turned on when the fact that they are using an AT that
want's it is enough. Ditto any desktop features that rely on AT-SPI.

So we just need to get rid of the need to logout/in after turning it
on/off and add a protocol for AT's to request it and for it to  to be
enabled turn when an AT fires up.

Does the D-BUS port give us this capability? We can perhaps defines
some system messages for a11y?
