Bug#805382: profile.d script: abundant = in `[`-expression (potential bashism)

Package: debian-mate-default-settings
Version: 1.10.2-4
Severity: normal
File: /etc/profile.d/debian-mate-default-settings_gtk-accessibility.sh

The abovementioned file, when sourced by dash or zsh, produces error
messages due to the use of `==` in a test-expression (`[`):

> $ dash -l
> dash: 17: [: x: unexpected operator

zsh does not by default source /etc/profile, but if it is made to do
explicitly:

> % . /etc/profile
> /etc/profile.d/debian-mate-default-settings_gtk-accessibility.sh:17: = not found

just replacing the `==` with `=` should make the script posix-shell
compatible.
