Well, I don't use all the KDE sounds that much. But the real concern is
why sound is not working when logging on into KDE (maybe I should also
check what happens when I login to Gnome). Earlier it was working fine
with allt he sounds in KDE if they were enabled. So I think there is
still something wrong which needs to be taken care of.
