1. Configuration of System Sounds.

This screen allows ``System Sounds'' to be configured, so that when one of certain Events (such as opening a window, changing the desktop, etc.) occurs, a sound file associated with that event is played.

Currently, only WAV sound files are supported by the KDE System Sound Module.

To use this feature, you must first have some WAV files listed in the Sounds box. This will list files from the default location $KDEDIR/share/sounds; the user can add additional WAV files to the list by dragging them from a File Manager (kfm) window onto the sound list.

(Note: at this time, the standard KDE distribution does not supply any WAV files for system sounds; you must obtain them from some other source such as the ``kdethemes'' package).
