Odd, guess the ^G got stripped out of the bell_msg, it was there...
Just to show a working config here's my setup:
Gentoo linux on both laptop and server. both reasonably up to date.
laptop (~x86):
rxvt-unicode v9.06 (--enable-everything --enable-perl --enable-xft)
[ I'm using it in client/daemon mode too ]
OpenSSH_5.2p1
server (x86):
OpenSSH_5.2p1
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06
gentoo adds a bunch of patches, so maybe one of them is it:
(or maybe your distro adds one that breaks it)
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/gentoo-x86-portage/app-misc/screen/files/
that has the system screenrc too so the term tweaks /
defaults could do it too...
My .screenrc is pretty basic:
----- SNIP
hardstatus on
# tabs for open windows, hostname and time
caption always "%{.bW}[ %h ][ %{.bW}%-w%{.rW}%n %t%{-}%+w
%=%{..G}][ %{..Y}%m/%d %C%a CST ]"
#trick vim into 256-color mode, although only 88 (hack)
termcapinfo * 'Co#256'
altscreen on
autodetach on
startup_message off
defscrollback 1000
# thats a real ^G not '^' + 'G'
bell_msg "^G ring ring - window %n"
----- SNIP
Good Luck!
