</div>If you're either patient or willing to use unstable stuff, GNOME 2.25<br>
(devel version for 2.26) (or at least Ubuntu 9.04 alpha) has the ability<br>
to specify which sounds to play for various alerts, such as new mail.<br>

I can set the sounds for all sorts of fun things, logins, logouts, new mail, buttons clicked, alerts, etc. It even has the ability for me to set the sound for the system bell, it just doesn't work for the system bell. It works for the other stuff, just not the system bell.<br>
