Description Bryan W. Headley 2003-10-25 17:26:18 UTC 
Are you amiable to an enhancement that makes call to gdk_beep() an option
during login? Further, some blind folks are asking for the ability to
choose a sound to play instead (they are thinking of a voice that sez, "Log
in now", but obviously it could be any sound file)

I see esound is linked in, so it obviously can be done. Would you like this
as a patch to current CVS?
Comment 1 George Lebl 2003-11-06 17:53:53 UTC 
yes, feel free to submit a patch I would very much welcome such an
enhancement ...
Comment 2 George Lebl 2003-12-30 23:37:50 UTC 
Acually turned out to be harder then it looked at first glance.  Done
in CVS HEAD.
