Device inserted, well, I know I've plugged the device in, I remember having to take 4 goes to line up the USB connector correctly But mounting the device is an automatic thing so it should have the sound. Its a weird and interesting edge case. > So killing >ALL< sounds is a bit silly No-one was talking about killing ALL sounds. I was talking about replacing the myriad of sound effects that we have with one sound. A sound that is easy to learn its meaning, unlike 125 random sounds. iain _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
