This morning the beep issued reappeared, and I started researching this
bug.
"Enable system beep" is related to gconf key
"/apps/metacity/general/audible_bell". Looking for its value in gconf-
editor i could see that it was indeed set to false - as expected. Odd.
Anyway, I don't use metacity, but compiz. I grabbed compiz source
package and looked for the code that "links" metacity settings to the
ones in compiz.
Audio bell settings are "synced" in bell_settings_changed() (gtk/window-
decorator/gtk-window-decorator.c:5374), where the value attributed to
META_AUDIBLE_BELL_KEY is copied to COMPIZ_AUDIBLE_BELL_KEY
("/apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/audible_bell"). So, this
explains why the enabling and disabling system bell in gnome sound
properties capplet solves the system bell problem.
Next time this thing reappears I will check if compiz settings in gconf
for audible_bell are as expected or not.
