i'm pretty sure the window manageris irrelevant, as i can switch
to a console (ctl-alt-f2) and via the gpm cursor gadget, i still
get the click (more like a buzz when moving the mouse over a long
distance). i can wait until the screen saver takes over on X, and
the console mouse-move 'buzz' is still there.
but <newbie>in case it matters</newbie> i'm using kde on potato.
in the control center (for preferences) there's a "sounds" area
with three subitems: midi, sound server, system bell. i can test
the system bell which seems to work properly; plus, when kde
starts or shuts down i get the fancy-pants music/chord, too.
there's no 'clang when closing a window' or 'boing on maximize'
sound setup (from what i can tell). plus, the mouse-move
buzz/click affects the consoles, as well.
but if i'm playing an audio cd, it's irritating to have the mouse
buzz interfere with taste of honey, lujon or concerto in f...
got s'more ideas why moving the mouse one pixel would 'tick' at
my speakers? electromagnetic induction? anything?

by the way... how do you change from kde to another window
manager?
