Public bug reported: I use Kubuntu (KDE 4.2, Jaunty), and I also have Ubuntu (i.e. Gnome packages) installed.
When I run GTK apps under KDE, they make various sounds (when clicking buttons, closing dialogs etc), For a start, this is just annoying (I don't know why this is the default). But there is no way to disable them. I tried running gnome-sound- properties and disabling the sounds, but it makes no difference. (I have already disabled all KDE sounds). Some Gnome applications (e.g. totem) don't seem to make these sounds. Other ones (e.g. gnometris) do, and most GTK apps (e.g. gimp, audacity, wxWindows apps). Perhaps these GTK apps are actually linked against gnome libs, I don't know. Other people have experienced this bug: http://forum.kde.org/weirdness- with-gtk-sounds-t-11847.html (The only peculiarity in my system is I don't have pulseaudio installed - I manually removed it because it interferes with other apps being able to play sound. I doubt this makes a difference to whether these apps play sounds or not). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Jaunty] Sound in GTK apps can't be disabled under KDE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343677 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
