Description Nate Graham 2017-03-21 14:16:07 UTC 
KDE Plasma 5.9.2 on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The .gtkrc-2.0 that gets created when you run GTK apps in KDE does not have "gtk-error-bell=0" in it. As a result, hitting the backspace key in an empty text field in GTK apps produces a horrible jarring beep noise that makes my wife never want to use Linux ever. This beep doesn't even respect the system volume. Muting the computer doesn't silence the awful beeps. What a mis-feature!

.gtkrc-2.0 definitely needs to set "gtk-error-bell=0" by default.

Also /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

Hi,
Is this something new?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2017-03-22 01:56:29 UTC 
Not sure if it's a regression, or if it's simply always been this way. I just noticed and investigated today, as a relatively new KDE user.

Actually, these files are provided by openSUSE, not KDE. Moving it there: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1030936
