I enabled as per your steps, and watched... nothing happened when I had incoming messages or anything. Then I was in gnome-terminal and accidentally discovered it. I had backspaced too much and BLAM! like a photoflash in my face! Whoa! Obviously I needed a few minutes for the spots to clear before I could type this message. :-) It seems to truly be only for system beeps and nothing else. So I can't be alerted when I get instant messages and such. Oh well... guess I should file an enhancement request or something. The Accessibility app doesn't seem to cover issues related to deaf users. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
