   When you enter accessX into adept you get the option to (un)install a    
   utility called xkbset.   
      
   Part of the description:   
   AccessX is a set of features within the XKEYBOARD extension of the X    
   Window System designed to make X more accessible to users with    
   disabilities. XKEYBOARD is present in X11R6.1 and later. AccessX    
   features are typically unknown, given that in many implementations no    
   interface is provided to utilize their functionality.   
      
   So I imagine it's installed on your machine and because you don't seem    
   to need it can uninstall it.
