Bug Description

This is a refile of Bug #280625 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/280625).

I do not know which part of GTK is causing the problem, so I file it against the gtk-demo application (package gtk2.0-examples).

To reproduce:
Open gtk-demo, open the "Assistant" demo and type a backspace into the text box. The internal PC speaker (also known as "beep") rings instead of the expected Ubuntu notification sound configured in the sound settings.

This bug affects many applications (all that use GTK) such as Firefox (->search) Thunderbird(->new email), instant messengers and so on.

(System: fully updated Ubuntu 8.10)
