Well considering that most web access allows bookmarking and
direct access without coming from "the one entry page" then putting the
controls only in one place doesn't really work. I'd say that is a
specific implementation that is deemed bad or good, but not necessarily
a clear accessibility issue - just the potential for bad design. You
could also address this by keeping user preferences after login and in
other ways however.

I have a question about this: suppose you offer animation controls on
the site, to enable/disable decoration-animations for instance (not
so much pause them mid-play, but simply enable/disable them site-wide)
... should those controls be offered on all pages, all pages where
animations are present, or is it acceptable within the realm of
accessibility to only offer those controls on a "Settings" or
configuration type page?
I'm reminded of the Jeremy Keith Button(r): http://mezzoblue.com/about/
mezzoblue/
Nutshell: it's a fixed-vs-full layout width toggle for browsing
Mezzoblue, but the toggle is only available on that one page.
