Bug Description

Hello,
i have a fresh knot-3-server-install with a few xfce-apps (not xubuntu-desktop). Irssi in xfce4-terminal no beep. I have set these options in irssi:
    beep_when_window_active = "yes";
    beep_when_away = "yes";
    beep_msg_level = "NOTICES DCC DCCMSGS HILIGHT";
    bell_beeps = "yes";

But ONLY in xfce4-terminal does'nt go. In xterm and few other terminals i hear the beep.

Hi, thanks for submitting this bug report.

xfce4-terminal actually does support emitting a system beep via the terminal, but disables it by default, and does not offer access to this "advanced" feature via the GUI preferences. Look under "Hidden Options" in /usr/share/doc/xfce4-terminal/html/C/advanced.html for how to enable it.

Changed in xfce4-terminal:
status: Unconfirmed → Rejected

You should be able to test it by typing «echo -ne "\a"» in the terminal; you should hear a beep when it's configured (this to save you from having to open up irssi).
