Bug#526403: konsole: PC speaker beep is not passed from Bash through Konsole

[Nate Bargmann <n0nb@n0nb.us>]

Package: konsole
Version: 4:4.2.2-1
Severity: normal


The PC speaker style beep seems to no longer be available through Konsole.
Playing a sound file is too slow for tab completion and other instances
where Bash generates the ASCII Bell character (Ctl-G).  In Konsole 1.6.6
(KDE 3.5.10) the bell is played as expected while in Konsole 2.2.2
(KDE 4.2.2) the bell is mute.  No configuration of Konsole was ever required 
to play the ASCII Bell character in the past.

The lack of the Bell character creates a severe limitation on feedback
from the shell for various tasks.
