So, yeah, I've tried that, and it gives me an error:

  Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
  
  Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take
  effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g.
  KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME
  settings manager.

However, I am able to make changes there, like disabling "system sounds",
and the choices I make persist -- and the sounds don't go away no matter
what I do.
