OS X calls this the "alert" sound-- perhaps we could do the same?  (Or  
"desktop alert", or "system alert"-- but having to put "system" in  
front of a noun in the GUI is usually a bad sign...)

Incidentally, from the screenshot alone[1] I'm a little confused...  
are the "system beep" checkbox and the "audible bell" list entry  
controlling the same thing, and if so, why do I get to control it in  
two different places, in two different ways, with two different names?

Incidentally again, always a little disappointing when usability-maint gnome bugs 
 aren't cc'ed on bugs like this so we at least have the chance to  
give some input from the start... nothing personal, just a gentle  
reminder to everyone :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
