Description TJ 2007-08-26 04:06:25 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The changes between 2.18.0 and 2.19.90 to gnome-session/gsm-sound.c that appear to   have been intended to remove the dependency on esound/ESD have, as a by-product, broken the login (and logout) sound defined in {system}/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist and/or ~/.gnome/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist.

The sounds still appear in the Sound Preferences dialog and can be played manually.


Steps to reproduce:
1. In a virtual terminal, set a watch on the file:
$ inotifywait -m /etc/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist

2. Log in with standard gnome-2.soundlist
3. Listen for sound
4. Check the virtual terminal for file-access to gnome-2.soundlist


Actual results:
No sound, no file accesses to gnome-2.soundlist

Expected results:
Hear the login sound, see OPEN and ACCESS and CLOSE file operations

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Pretty severe regression - picked up in Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe-5 testing
