Bug Description

I installed KDE 4 desktop on Kubuntu Heron. Now whenever I change virtual desktops the system plays a beeping sound. This happens on keyboard shortcuts, clicking on the virtual desktop chooser or clicking on an open application widget in the panel (when doing so causes a change in virtual desktop).

I tried to disable this in the menus but I could not find a way to do it.

If this is an intentional choice, please, please, please get rid of it. Pretty please? With sugar on top. This is about as fun to deal with as Clippy.

Having your computer constantly beep you for no good reason whatsoever is annoying, distracting and just plain bugs you the hell out.

It doesn't do this in Intrepid. :)
