Talking GDM [Was: Voxin was: Switching to Linux]

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Kyle:

I actually had to go launch Terminal on the GUI to answer your question,
as I don't have a reason to use it, generally. I'm very pleased with
Speakup on my 23 other consoles, with screen running as well in about 9/10 of
those .


But, to answer your question directly, no, I do not have a bell in
terminal. So, I guess I have two casualties from not running pulse. I do
wish I had the earcons, but I can frankly live wwithout them and without
the GUI terminal.
