Oh, I'm all for using good accels. So whenever you see a situation where you 
think the manager can't do a better job than the programmer, just hardcode 
one. Then the translator will hardcode less too and give the manager more 
room. 

But the (german translation of the) Edit menu of the kmail composer I just 
have open is a good example that you will never be able to find a perfect 
match - managed or not. So let's hardcode the cases that are likely to be 
used more often by users and give the rest to the manager (which could be 
changed to warn again on conflicting hard codes by default for the moment).
