[GTALUG] flash instead of beep in zsh?

[Matt Price]

Hi folks,

I am trying to switch to zsh from bash.  Haven't really gotten many of the
benefits yet as I need to learn the advanced globbing syntax, but it seems
nice so far.  However, the beep is driving my crazy.  for ages I've had my
bash beep set to a flash, which is far less annoying.  in zsh this is
apparently accomplished with the ZBEEP shell parameter, but I can't make it
work.  does anyone have ZBEEP set to a value that actually works for them?

I should say, I am using GNOME and gnome-terminal, which, unlike konsole,
does not have an option for changing the bell to a flash, so I think this
would have to be accomplished in the shell itself.

Thanks, Matt
