Beep is back!

[Kevin Somervill]

Hey Andrew,
This isn't an xfce issue, but in /etc/inputrc you can specify how the
readline library handles the bell (beep).  Set the bell-style to none
should fix it.

# /etc/inputrc
# none, visible or audible
set bell-style none

./ks

After watching my newly-retired dad spend two weeks learning how to make
a new
folder, it became obvious that "intuitive" mostly means "what the writer or
speaker of intuitive likes".
(Bruce Ediger, bediger at teal.csn.org, in comp.os.linux.misc, on X the
intuitiveness of a Mac interface.)
