Greetings,

With more and more users disabling their PC Speaker and rendering the system bell useless, should rxvt-unicode call on xkbbell instead? If no third party application is listening, I believe xkbbell still calls the system bell, but can be customized via xbelld or xkbevd.

Furthermore, the more I'm looking, the more I believe xkbbell is shipped with any X.org system (at least it was here in Gentoo, and on my wife's Ubuntu install). So I don't believe we'd run into any issues finding the package installed.

It's a quick change in the source (one line) that I have committed to my local copy of rvxt-unicode. I suppose if this would not be a good solution, I could write a patch to enable the option to use xkbbell, should the demand be high enough.

Thoughts? Opinions? Am I crazy?
