Well actually turning on the AccessX features in KPersonalizer has two 
problems:
1. Those who need the AccessX features may not be able to use KPersonalizer 
if all AccessX features (including the gestures) are off by when 
KPersonalizer runs. So the gestures need to be on when KPersonalizer 
starts (KPersonalizer can of course default to turn the gestures off).
2. KPersonalizer might not be used at all. At least in SuSE KPersonalizer 
is never used, and so turning on the gestures in the KPersonalizer will 
have the effect that some users cannot use KDE at all.

I am currently working on changing the dialog that pops up when a gesture 
was used (I will attach a preview of the new dialog), so maybe we might 
switch the default again to on (as it is both under Gnome and Windows).
