@Sebastien: I'll disagree that this isn't a bug (the VAST majority of
desktop systems are primarily administered by a single person), but we
can agree to call it an "issue." :-) What other open issues are there
that relate to this? At a minimum, when "no sounds" is chosen, if the
user in question is a sudoer the dialog should ask whether to disable
the login sound as well (and then require sudo to do it).

Title:
  "No sounds" should disable even the login sound

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  If a user goes to System | Preferences | Sound and chooses the "No
  sounds" theme, they are expressing a very clear preference: Don't play
  sounds. But gdm plays the login sound (the drums) anyway, making the
  user hunt down the System | Administration | Login Screen dialog where
  there's a "Play log-in sound" checkbox (thanks to the fix for
  #437429).

  gdm should not play the login sound when the user has said "no sounds"
  in the Sound preferences.
