Usually, GNOME does this for you. $ grep start_esd ~/.gnome/sound/system start_esd=true Have a look in Settings->Session->Session Properties. Is there a "sound-properties" entry? If not, just start it from the command line (esd should be running afterwards), re-open the "Session Properties" dialog, set its Order to 20, its Style to Settings, hit OK and save the session now or when logging out. As a workaround, you may just add it (esd -nobeeps) to the startup programs (Settings->Session->Session Properties & Startup Programs). The difference may be that it is not killed when you log out.
