Can we have gtk-error-bell set to FALSE by default on Windows?

The new behavior in GTK+ 2.12 is something that most Windows users will not be accustomed to and will dislike. In the couple days following releasing a version of Pidgin with GTK+ 2.12.1, we've had more than a dozen users complain in various forums. If this is a change that should be made in the source, I'll gladly submit a patch (or if it would be better to just make a patch for the MS-Windows gtkrc file, I'd be fine with that too). Other information:
What this should probably do is sync with SPI_GETBEEP [1] in msw_style_setup_system_settings(). It seems like the Win32 analogue to gtk-error-bell [2] I'd happily apply that patch to the 2.12 branch if you can confirm that it works.

Created attachment 97943 [details] [review] Path to disable gtk-error-bell in the MS-Windows theme Based on a conversations in #gtk+ with Dom, I think this is what we decided to do.
