This should all just work, and is supposed to have worked for a long time.
Maybe the current accel disable code has regressed in some way: we could try
to use "gtk-enable-accels", similar to how was done with this commit:

http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/virt-manager/rev/43585a028ab7

Maybe someone can check ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log to see if there are
any backtraces or interesting debug output about this not working.

FYI, this works for me with upstream virt-manager (which hasn't changed too
much in this area) on fedora.
