system BEL ('\007') not work under Gnome: why?

[Gary Kline]

	Guys,

	Same thing under Gnome on my Ubuntu platform too.  It was new;
	and now with my Dell, again, the beep that I like in vi/vim
	doesn't sound.  i can write a C program to putchar('\007');
	and the system sound here, altho thru my speakers rather than the
	computer itself.

	KDE has an emulator but so far I've only gotten to to make a 
	strange sound.  This under Ubuntu.  Wrong wav file.  How do I
	set up a bell.wav under gnome?  I don't like and can't see the
	screen flash when I'm making sure my fingers hit the hright
	keys....more/less.

	tia,

	gary
