Then something else broke somewhere. Albert re-enabled the auto-assignment of
accelerators a few weeks ago (which initially broke KDevelop, but that
has been fixed meanwhile)

Apart from that this is actually not the purpose (and never has been) of
KAcceleratorManager - at least not in the way it used right now. The
purpose was to use this during development to easily find good
accelerator keys and then assign them in code/ui files. The only reason
this is still enabled is because its been enabled for so long that no
application (IIRC there's even a krazy check ensuring this state) has
any manually-assigned accelerators anymore.
