Unfortunately, the accessibility option in the login menu bar is hard-coded into the unity-greeter source code, and short of modifying that, there appears to be no way to remove it (like a number of other Unity UI features...)
Your best bet is to simply make the icon invisible. While it will still be there, it won't show and hopefully your children will be fooled :)
- The icon is provided by the file
/usr/share/unity-greeter/a11y.svg - Here's the pastebin of an appropriate blank icon.
To replace yours, open a terminal and:
cd /usr/share/unity-greeter sudo mv a11y.svg _a11y_backup.svg sudo wget -Oa11y.svg
Result of clicking the "invisible" icon:
I have implemented solution from 11.10 and it works for me :)
Yo open mentioned file with owner privileges I used command in terminal:
gksudo gnome-open /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js
