Hi The file (or softlink) needs to exist in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo that matches the id for example; sudo ln -s /usr/share/sounds/login.wav \ /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/desktop-login.wav -- Cheers Malcolm ��� (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.27.42-0.1-default up 21 days 4:10, 4 users, load average: 0.08, 0.05, 0.07 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - CUDA Driver Version: 190.53

Found a 64bit version of metacity 2.28.0-2.12.1 here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sbrabec:/branches:/ openSUSE:/11.2:/Update/standard/x86_64/ However, I don't think I'll install it just yet.
