Re: [orca-list] Gnome 3.4 and Desktop Sounds

I don't know that anything's been 'yanked', per-se, just that the 
default Gnome 3 is shipping with a minimal theme.  If one were to put 
sound files, with the right names, in the right directory, then visit 
the Sound Effects thing, would they show up as they used to do?
