Annoying OpenSolaris audio bell

Are you also having your ears blasted by that really loud and annoying audio bell in OpenSolaris?
  1. Install gconf-editor using Package Manager
  2. Start gconf-editor
  3. Navigate to apps -> metacity -> general
  4. Uncheck audio bell
That's it - no more annoyance :)

You used to be able to use xset b 00 00 00 to control the keyboard beep, but that does not seem to work any longer. That nice, tiny, old "tick" sound is long gone...

Oh' well ...
