Right, but:
As an example, Kmail and Kate recently started making noises in
certain
situations, when displaying dialog boxes and the like, even though I had
sound effects turned off.
In that case, they were always supposed to make those event sounds, there
was a bug somewhere which prevented those sounds from being audible.
(Actually, as far as I know, the bug is still present, but the sound event
files were replaced with files which don't trigger the bug.) So this is not
a settings change, it's a bug which got fixed / worked around.
To make matters worse, I couldn't find any sound effect settings
in the
programs themselves. I had to log out from Gnome and log in to a KDE
session to get at the KDE settings and turn the noises off.
You can run "systemsettings" from a terminal or a "run command"
interface.
(I think we should reconsider the decision of having KDE's System Settings
only shown in the menu in KDE/Plasma sessions, I'll bring this up in our KDE
SIG meetings.)
It didn't even happen with an upgrade to a new Fedora release; it
happened
with an everyday update within a release. I hate that.
As I said, those sounds were always enabled by default, there was just a bug
which prevented them from being heard.
