I've been using GNOME for years and found you have to go out of your way to turn on those annoying sounds in GNOME (explicitly install gnome-audio, enable the sound server, then enable sounds). In Pidgin sounds can be disabled simply by going to Preferences/Sounds/Method and selecting "No Sounds". -- Albert W. Hopkins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
