[Bug 290189] [NEW] bell doesn't work in konsole

[Ariel Faigon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konsole

I just did a full software upgrade from hardy to intrepid (RC) with
KDE/plasma desktop.

One regression I noticed is that konsole no longer flashes on errors
(e.g non existent file in TAB file completion)

my shell is /bin/tcsh with 'set visiblebell', but that's probably
irrelevant because I can't get neither tcsh nor bash to flash (or beep
for that matter) in the new konsole.

More data:

Also: kwin is configured to use a visible bell:
System settings -> accessibility -> Visible bell -> Use visible bell -> flash screen
System settings -> notifications -> system bell -> use system bell instead of system notification
(works fine when I hit test in the system-settings window: flashes blue)

but in konsole there's no flashing neither a beep.

Also:
$ /bin/echo -e '\a'
does not produce a beep in konsole (both bash and tcsh)


The regression is here:
konsole:
  Installed: 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4
