In Zen-Mini the Gnome-logon sound is activated as:

/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"

but where/how do I change the "desktop-login" tune to a different melody (using the canberra-gtk-play setup)?

Hi.

Never didn't use that program and never didn't change the sound (I'm turning off them - just don't like it) but if You want change some sound just swap files here "/usr/share/sounds/" You have here as well "login.wav" file so it sould work for You ;)

Thanks Siamer,

yes, there is also a symbolic link login.wav and logout.wav - are they set/used by a program?

This is of pure interest - googling a bit reveals that canberra-gtk-play uses freedesktop settings - so I'm just wondering where the id "desktop-login" is defined, and what program configures that?

As for sound, I unchecked the gnome-startup sound (that play a .... not pretty... sound after login :-) - and actually prefer a sound/melody when the login-manager is displayed (i.e. before the desktop start). This is setup via GUI btw.
