*** Bug 379295 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is not a task of the window manager. The GTK developers evidently think differently. And we both know that they're not going to change their mind. That leaves two possible outcomes: 1. KWin adapts, and GTK programs run under KWin play pleasant system sounds in all KDE environments and distros going forward. 2. KWin doesn't adapt, and GTK programs run under KWin periodically produce unpleasant beeps that don't respect the system volume level unless distros take matters into their own hands by either turning off all alert sounds in GTK programs, or muting the PC speaker globally. It sounds like you're saying that #2 is acceptable for the foreseeable future. Is that correct? KWin won't implement this. Just because gnome added this to the window manager, doesn't mean we have to add it to the window manager. It could also be a dedicated app. So again: it is not a task of the window manager. All right. |
