I can't find it now, but I am sure that it is there.  

I am the opposite to you.  With KDE, when I typed into the appfinder, each 
consecutive character that matched a suggestion would ring a bell.  It drove 
me nuts!  I found an Xfce setting that turned off that and all similar sounds, 
without turning off sound generally.

The rest is OT - sorry.

I am running Mandriva/KDE with Xfce as a second desktop.  It is an absolute 
mess.  I have just discovered Mandriva's equivalent to Xubuntu, 
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/XfceLive  It is a really solid desktop, and I 
propose to install it as my default soon.  Its email client is Claws, which 
seems to be every bit as good as Kmail, and close enough that the transition 
will be easy.
