@Sebastien: I'll disagree that this isn't a bug (the VAST majority of desktop systems are primarily administered by a single person), but we can agree to call it an "issue." :-) What other open issues are there that relate to this? At a minimum, when "no sounds" is chosen, if the user in question is a sudoer the dialog should ask whether to disable the login sound as well (and then require sudo to do it).

But gdm plays the login sound (the drums) anyway, making the user hunt down the System | Administration | Login Screen dialog where there's a "Play log-in sound" checkbox (thanks to the fix for #437429). gdm should not play the login sound when the user has said "no sounds" in the Sound preferences.
