Description jacob berkman 2002-06-12 21:55:39 UTC 
if you turn sound events on, the tasklist will generate beeps every time
the focus changes.

this is really annoying.

Comment 2 jacob berkman 2002-06-12 22:12:02 UTC 
the only thing is that you might want beeps when you actually click on
a tasks...
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-06-12 22:14:42 UTC 
Maybe the sound should key off "pressed" or "released" instead of
"clicked"? of course then it won't happen when keyboard navigating.
Comment 4 jacob berkman 2002-06-13 16:56:37 UTC 
so is this ok to go in now?

the current situation is pretty unbearable (even for people who can
tolerate event sounds)
Comment 5 Havoc Pennington 2002-06-13 18:32:32 UTC 
Fine with me. You probably have to create a branch though, right? Or
wait until 2.0 is out?
Comment 6 jacob berkman 2002-06-13 18:34:54 UTC 
depends on your plans.

if the current release is fine for gnome 2.0.0 and that release has a
tag, then a branch only needs to be made if you are doing another
release for 2.0.0.

otherwise there's no need for a branch (yet)
Comment 7 Havoc Pennington 2002-06-13 18:43:56 UTC 
That makes sense, I can branch later if required. Please go ahead
and put in the fix then.

	* libwnck/tasklist.c (wnck_task_create_widgets): tell libgnomeui
	not to do toggle sounds on ourself, as it's incredibly annoying to
	have the tasklist beep every time you change focus.

	fixes bug #85088
