have sound effects. Have you enabled "Launch Gnome Services on startup"
in "Sessions and Startup"? If so, this might come from Gnome and you
need to configure it with gnome-sound-properties.
So, yeah, I've tried that, and it gives me an error:
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take
effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g.
KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME
settings manager.
However, I am able to make changes there, like disabling "system sounds",
and the choices I make persist -- and the sounds don't go away no matter
what I do.
