Title:
  Compiz intercepts alert sound from gnome-terminal

Status in Compiz:
  Confirmed
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: compiz

  This is with up-to-date Lucid installed afresh from alpha 3.

  When compiz is active, the Gnome alert sound for gnome-terminal is
  intercepted and never played. I'm not sure other applications suffer
  from this, but I would find it strange it this were specific to gnome-
  terminal.

  Detailed steps to reproduce:
  - Check that the alert sound is enabled and audible:
    - Click on the volume indicator in the panel and choose "Sound preferences..."
    - Go to the "Sound effects" tab
    - Set the alert volume slider to a nonzero value
    - Make sure the master volume is also at a nonzero value
    - Check sound can be heard by clicking on one of the unselected alert sounds in the list
    - Close "Sound preferences" window
  - Press Alt-F2, enter "gnome-terminal" and press enter
  - Make sure the "Terminal bell" is enabled:
    - Right-click on the terminal background, and select "Profiles" > "Profile preferences"
    - Make sure "Terminal bell" is checked
    - Close "Profile preferences" window
  - With compiz enabled, focus the terminal and hit backspace. No sound is played
  - Press Alt-F2, enter "metacity --replace" and press enter
  - Go back to the open terminal and hit backspace. The alert sound is played

  The above behaviour occurs regardless of whether the gconf key
  /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/audible_bell is set or not.
  Moreover, if one sets a visual effect to represent the bell (blur,
  water, wobbly, ...), it is displayed. So the bell is being sent,
  compiz is receiving it, but it never passes it to the relevant bit of
  the desktop that is supposed to play the sound. Metacity does.
