Toolkits in general doesn't choose accelerators, the programmers of the applications that uses the toolkit does. However, many meny entries are similar in a lot of applications (Open/Save/Copy/Paste/...) so we can choose those to be similar.

I suspect another miscommunication here.  What do you mean by
"accelerators"?  I thought we were talking about typing a letter _once
the menu is active_ to select a given menu item.  Is that what you
mean, too?

How do these get selected, with LessTif and GTK?

As has been pointed out, the correct term is mnemonics. I mean the single letter you press to select a menu item when navigating it with the keyboard.
