Hi Thomas,

I recently discovered that there's a more or less complete usage of
acoustic beeps in Libo. This is done by System::Beep(). I did a grok for
"Beep" and got 59 results all over the code. I don't think that is much.
Is this a left over from former times?! Moreover I think most people
have beeps disabled on their systems.

        Code-wise, this is the VCL sound API ?

class VCL_DLLPUBLIC Sound
{
public:
     static void Beep( SoundType eType = SOUND_DEFAULT, Window* pWindow = NULL );
};

        If so, calling XBell which is what it does underneath it can cause some
serious problems on multi-user / remote X machines (with beeps in all
the wrong places)

What do you think, is it save to remove it?! Or would you think this
would be a gain in usability?

        Would be nice to drop the code IMHO; if UX generally can cope with that
of course :-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
