Comment 50 for bug 77010

pcspkr is blacklisted and i am not receiving the 'annoying' system beep. However i am not getting any beep at all. Gnome Alert sound has not taken over this job. I can go into System > Preferences > Sound and 'Choose an alert sound' and when I click on the sound I can hear it, but it does not happen during normal use.
I am finding that Terminator is flashing to give me a visual clue. Gnome-terminal however is not giving me this visual indicator.

Thank you to everyone who has worked on the 100 paper cuts, on their own they are small changes, together they make a huge difference.
