[Description Aldo "xoen" Giambelluca 2005-03-10 11:27:26 UTC]

Hello world!\n
I've unmasked/emerged GNOME 2.10 (Yeah!), there is a little problem (I don't know why), when internal speaker beep (for example for tab completition), the screen blink (go black for a millisecond, and after return normal).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
** For example **
1. Press <TAB> in a terminal, until internal speaker beep
Actual Results:  
The screen beep

Expected Results:  
Beep, but not blinking :)

go to Desktop->Prefs->Sound and make sure Visual Feedback isn't checked under the System Bell tab
