Anyone here have a suggestion for this?  On my slackware 3.6 box running
kde 1.1.2, incoming e-mail beeps at me from my remote konsole sessions.
On my Redhat 5.2 box running the binary rpm distribution of kde 1.1.2, it
doesn't.  
On the slackware box I roll my own from source, which is the only
difference.  Both machines have pnp sound-cards running and functional
(which should have nothing to do with the machine's speaker, but, one
never knows).
Thanks, if anyone can clue me in.
Van
