GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 593438
bell is broken
Last modified: 2009-08-29 22:38:38 UTC
Behdad asked me to post this bug upstream: The bell in rawhide's gnome-terminal is broken. Metacity's and gnome-terminal's gconf settings both suggest that a proper bell sound or visual bell is generated but it isn't. I verified that metacity doesn't even get the XkbBellEvent, so it seems this is eaten somwhere internally in gnome-terminal. Also, bell events triggered with the xkbbell tool work properly. gnome-terminal-2.27.91-1.fc12.x86_64

Seems to be a gtk issue as Matthias mentioned on the rhbz bug.
