    dogtail tests: Set the typingDelay back to defaults and improve the prefs test
    
    By default, dogtail uses a typingDelay of 0.075 seconds, which is fast enough.
    Setting it too low will make it type the characters in a random order,
    as observed in https://fedorahosted.org/dogtail/ticket/23
