Comment 6 for bug 282906

Sebastien, it looks like this isn't working. I have "Play alert sound" unticked which means "Alert sound" is dimmed. Visual Alert on "Flash window" and the beeps still occur. I then tried enabling "Alert Sound" and disabling "Alert sound", beeps still occur. I then tried disabling the entire thing by unchecking "Play alerts and sound effects" and ... keeps beeping!

.. so I went into the gconf-editor and checked that "audible bell" was disabled and it was. I exited gconf-editor and it doesn't beep anymore. Maybe gconf-editor does a rehup of some process which makes the changes take effect?
