While I normally run fvwm, I did the normal destop installation, so
should have the complete Gnome.  On my older machine, which just
got a fresh installation, I don't (yet) run fvwm.  On it, too, the
bell does not work.  

Using the debian package search (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages)
I see that there is *no* listing for gnome-control-center in
Debian *testing* (which is what I have).  There is one in unstable and
in stable.  That seems a trifle strange.
