Go to .... Notifications as you have.... There is a pull down Event Source menu....Select Konsole.... Go to "Bell in Non-Visible Session" to copy the name of the file KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg in the Play a Sound area. Then go to "Bell in Visible Session"....paste the name of the sound and check the "Play a sound" box. Then Apply.... From now on...if you hit backspace or make some sort of error a beep will be played. Ed -- I tell ya, I was an ugly kid.
