GNOME 2.28 was integrated in B124. So between 124 and 130, the "system bell" was actually played GNOME sound themes if you are running GNOME desktop. So if you want to disable it, you can do it in gnome-volumn-control's "Sound Theme" tab.
However, someone want to "X bell" back. So there is bug 6885862 Jerry Tan fixed it in B131, so now you can hear the "X bell" in all cases again, together with the GNOME sound theme if you enabled it. So if you think "X bell" is too loud, it is not related to GNOME. You have to adjust it to use "xset" in one of your start scripts. If you put it under your $HOME, it won't be lost after system upgrade. Thanks, Harry On Mon, 2010-01-25 at 17:08 -0700, Tom Whitten wrote: > That's interesting.
