well i hope my sounds are not so loud that you can here them. I can
understand that some users won´t have it at all but i hope you can
accept that i want them to give me a lucky feeling when using my
desktop. And i always used sounds in my mail program like: Danger, RAID
System has failure or Mailserver is not responding anymore". In my job,
when not looking to the desktop (even if locked) while e.g. installing a
new system this is very handy. I know the error most times bevor the
users call me.
