A good question. I can't tell for MacOS X 10.7 (Lion) because I have to stay
with MacOS X 10.6.x for technical reasons; at least on 10.6.x, it is *not*
checked by default, but maybe Apple has changed this on 10.7?

You could help us to find out about that, and this would be very interesting
for us all. IMHO Apple will use the default settings for any newly created
account. To create a new account (you can delete it again later!), please open
your MacOS System Preferences, select 'Users', click the lock icon at the
bottom left to allow changes, and then click on the [+] or 'Add' button below
the accounts list to create a new account. In the dialog window which asks you
about some details please select type 'Standard' and enter a name and a
password of your choice (just be sure to remember the password ;-). Now log out
and log in again, this time with the name of the recently created account. Open
the System Preferences again, select "Universal Access" and look if "Enable
access for assistive deviced" is checked or not -- now you know it! Finally,
log out and log in again with your own account. If you want, you can delete the
recently created account now: just open 'Users' again, select the recently
created account and click on [-] or 'Delete'.

If you could try this and tell us about the results (here) it would be very
helpful, thank you in advance!

Another possibility is: have you installed any window management utility/app,
e.g. Moom, Cinch, or RightZoom? I wonder if some utilities of this kind tell
MacOS X to "Enable access for assistive deviced" when you install them.
