Bug#681976: XBell() not ringie-dingie

["Barak A. Pearlmutter" <barak@cs.nuim.ie>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.19.0-4

When running the below program, at least on my machine, XkbBell() makes
a satisfying "bloop" sound while XBell() is conspicuously silent.

I'm not sure where the problem is, so I'm guessing the X server.  I'm
therefore filing this against the particular device-specific server
package on this machine, although I suspect this holds more generally.

(See bug#564200 for some discussion, most of it tangential.)
