Indeed, it doesn't here either.  Time for a doc-patch?  :)

Hmm, sounds like this bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97425
What version of KDE are you using now?  Here 3.4.1.

This all works fine here, in every combination: beep, song, flash.  
And I can disable all that too.

But holding Shift for eight seconds doesn't actually enable Slow 
keys, also there is no confirmation dialog (although it is ticked). 
Pressing Shift five times _does_ activate Sticky keys (and it asks 
first when ticked). Hmm, there is definitely something wrong with 
these Accessibility things.

Maybe kcmaccessibilty depends on extra things, other split ebuilds, 
some of which I've installed but you don't?
