I've been experimenting a bit by installing bits and pieces from F15, without doing a complete install. Now I realised my beep had disappeared. I'm talking about the nice classical square wave PC speaker beep. The thing that sounds when I, for example, try to do tab-expansion in an xterm, and there are several alternative ways to continue.
I note that "xkbbell" is silent, but "xkbbell -force" still generates the beep. And if I go to a virtual console rather than to the X environment, the beep is back. So apparently it is not a kernel driver thing, but something is taking the X events. Or something like that.
I've heard that some desktop environments do things like this. But I'm running a quite bare twm environment, so I doubt it is in the "desktop".
Is there a simple way to find out what is blocking the events? Or do I have to do some kind of binary search over the things I've updated to F15 recently?

Try asking on the Fedora Test list, which is where F15 is discussed.
