Description Carthik Sharma 2006-10-16 17:02:51 UTC 
Changing the sound preferences does not result in the changes taking place immediately. I need to restart X(gdm) for the new settings to take effect.

To reproduce:
Open the "System->Preferences->Sound" menu.
Click on the "Sounds" menu tab
Change the "Select Check Box" sound to "beep" and "Select Menu Item" sound to "clink".
Close the preferences dialog.

Notice how selecting a checkbox, or selecting a menu item does not make a sound. Now restart X, and re-login. Now notice how the settings you chose for sound are active.

This is always reproducible.

The sound settings should be effective immediately, without needing to restart X/gdm.
