note to self....

And furthermore, why is the sound Notification system in KDE such a piece of crap?

First it was Konsole - SCREAMING at me each time I touched the Backspace key while the cursor was at the beginning of the line -WtF? Now it's Konqueror BLASTING the same damned noise at me each time I push the down arrow key to scroll down the page!?

And on my system, each of those staticy, noisy, piece of shit system beeps is about 100Db - that is, I have this PoS notebook plugged into a rather high-powered speaker system (not that the crappy system beep isn't too loud even on crappy little laptop speakers), and no matter what I do, it seems that KDE just won't agree to either shut up with the stupid system beeps, or even just turn them down to something a lot lower in amplitude than what I want from e.g. XMMS or JuK or whatever media player I'm using to blast rock'n'roll to the rest of the neighborhood...

Put it on the to do list to fix this crap...
