How do I get sound to be associated with X events (window close, etc.)?
If you are running FVWM2 and AnotherLevel, all you have to do is edit a few files. 1) Install sound on your system (out of scope of this howto), and a suitable audio file player (I use vplay for command line sound playing, but 5.x comes with /usr/bin/play from SOX). Test sound and make sure that all is well before messing with sound and X! 2) Setup sound files in: cd /usr/share mkdir sound cp <files.[wav,voc,au]> sound or ln -s <where your files are> sound 3) Edit your configuration files to associate sound with events: cd /etc/X11/AnotherLevel edit fvwm2rc.defines.m4 change or uncomment the SOUND_COMMAND line define (`SOUND_COMMAND',`play') edit fvwm2rc.modules.m4 attach sound to events, e.g., *FvwmAudio startup computer.au 4) Restart fvwm and you should now have sound.
