Summary:
Screen curtain is not persistent across restarts of VoiceOver or the computer.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start VoiceOver.

2. Turn on Screen Curtain (VO+Shift+F11).

3. Turn off VoiceOver.

4. Turn on VoiceOver.

5. Steps 3 and 4 are automatic if the computer is restarted.

Expected Results:
Screen Curtain should be re-enabled when VoiceOver is started, provided that it was on for the user account when VoiceOver was last switched off.

Actual Results:
Screen Curtain doesn't persist; it's always off when VoiceOver is restarted, regardless of whether it was on when VoiceOver was last switched off.

Notes:
The intended behaviour described is that presently found in the version of VoiceOver in iOS.
