GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 525633
silent but visual bell in gnome-terminal
Last modified: 2008-11-14 13:05:51 UTC
The idea is to provide a new way of notifying completions choices etc. The idea is to provide an alternative to the classic annoying « bip » that flashes the prompt line the same way it does in emacs for exemple when the bell is silent. Thanks anyway.
There's already the 'visual bell' setting the control centre's sound preferences; is that not the same thing?

I was thinking of a visible bell same as emacs visible bell that you can set in the g-t preferences.
xterm has this feature. Doesn't the gnome desktop 'visual bell' flash the entire screen? Flashing just the relevant terminal window is more helpful. And it works outside the gnome desktop.
The 'visual bell' only flashes the requesting window's titlebar when using metacity. (Btw, if you use gnome-terminal outside the Gnome environment you can't complain about gnome-y features not being present!)
This is basically 'doesn't work as expected because I'm not using metacity' so dup-ing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 474053 ***
