Can't change or disable system sounds

[Neil Broadley]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Using Jaunty 9.04 , in System/Preferences/Sound ("Sounds" tab), it's impossible to change or disable any of the system sounds. Although they appear to have changed, when you close the window, everything reverts back to "default".

Workaround : This issue appears to be caused by the "theme", which is by default blank. Once you've chosen the "Ubuntu" theme, you can make changes which stick. NOTE: once you have chosen the "Ubuntu" theme, you can't revert it back to being blank, so if you wish to confirm this bug, please do so by making a change while the theme is blank, then closing the window and re-opening.

I wanted to log this against gnome-sound-properties, but there's no package for that apparently.
