Bug Description

gconf-editor / apps / gdm / simple-greeter / settings-manager-plugins / sound / active: unchecked

gdm still plays the incredibly annoying drums when showing the login panel after a logout
(it may also play them on first-logins, but i can't tell because of pulse/alsa auto-mute-on-startup bugs)

jep, that's why i set it to invalid. then i reopened it to put the right key in for the next of the 5000 people looking for a way to disable it, but it took 20 minutes to find it.

$ sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds --type bool false

sorry to have wasted your time - perhaps some day gnome will actually add the gui for this to admin/login in so they don't waste everyone else's.
