Public bug reported:

When using tab-completion, or otherwise triggering the terminal bell,
the wallpaper switches to white and is then forced to redraw.  This
occurs with every beep and adds a substantial set of delays for someone
who is tab-happy.

By disabling the terminal bell in gnome-terminal, this behavior is
eliminated.

I found this setting "checked" in gconf:
/apps/compiz/plugins/fade/screen0/options/fullscreen_visual_bell

I disabled that setting (and re-enabled the terminal bell in gnome-
terminal) and the problem went away, but I'm using metacity (because
i865 will fail from compiz to metacity) so something else is honoring
that setting and it is not obvious where I should go to disabled this.

I am currently using the most up-to-date Jaunty:

gnome-terminal 2.25.5-0ubuntu2
metacity: 1:2.25.144-0ubuntu1
compiz: 1:0.7.9+git20090211-0ubuntu4
xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu2
xserver-xorg: 1:7.4~5ubuntu12

I don't see anything related in the ~/.xsession-errors or gdm/:0.log
files.
