Actually, after some tests, (1) is unrelated. On one machine,
gdm3 no longer beeps even though I have
/desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds true
in /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults and I do not use "xset -b"
(e.g. the beep works in Emacs).
"gconftool -g /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds" outputs false, so
that there may be something else. I'm happy with that, though.
