OK, I'll have a look.

Now that we have this qtest_has_accel() method, there is certainly room
for improvements / simplifications. This doesn't have to block this
patch set and could be done on top. (Beside helping Claudio's effort,
my main selfish motivation was to stop compile pointless objects and
reduce minutes wasted on CI).
