Beep on X11 login screen

[Jim Cornette]

The beep is not a problem for me. I liked the PCMCIA loading succeeded 
beeps and don't mind having additional indicators that certain functions 
have completed.

The hiding of process information and the distraction that a simple beep 
indication causes is sort of interesting from a psychological observation.

One visual improvement that I noticed was a break from the smurf blue 
ICON themes from the RHL9 beta days. I like the ICONs that each program 
picked for their representation.

For the sightless, their might be some differential audio feedback 
representative for each application, once the ICON is hovered over. To 
reduce the distraction for those that might find this feature 
distracting. This might be handled by selecting an accessibility 
selection on install.

As a sighted person, I like to have launcher ICONs on my screens lower 
and upper edges for programs that I like to use. Adding something like 
that, with a consistent location for the mouse pointer would be an aid 
for navigation for the sightless and for the sighted as well.

Just my thoughts regarding making Linux more of a paved road, instead of 
a frontier, for all users.
