Bug Description
I use Kubuntu (KDE 4.2, Jaunty), and I also have Ubuntu (i.e. Gnome packages) installed.
When I run GTK apps under KDE, they make various sounds (when clicking buttons, closing dialogs etc), For a start, this is just annoying (I don't know why this is the default).
But there is no way to disable them. I tried running gnome-sound-
Some Gnome applications (e.g. totem) don't seem to make these sounds. Other ones (e.g. gnometris) do, and most GTK apps (e.g. gimp, audacity, wxWindows apps). Perhaps these GTK apps are actually linked against gnome libs, I don't know.
Other people have experienced this bug: http://
(The only peculiarity in my system is I don't have pulseaudio installed - I manually removed it because it interferes with other apps being able to play sound. I doubt this makes a difference to whether these apps play sounds or not).
I have this same problem. Every time I select a new tool in GIMP I get some sort of blooping sound. Closing dialog boxes is similarly annoying. Can't turn it off as it seems to ignore Gnome preferences.
