The dummy sensor plugin is useless by design, and emulates what an
accelerometer would be like in a desktop computer.

Noted from source code:
   // Your average desktop computer doesn't move :)

It could probably be changed to provide some easy sine wave data, but I
am not sure it's worth it.

Also note from the initial commit message (in qtmobility):

    Generic is for things like "orientation based on accelerometer".
    Dummy is for things like "give me an accelerometer on my desktop for 
testing".
