Bug#667002: Debian has no login/logout sounds

Hi,

canberra-gtk-play works very well - with all sounds provided by
sound-theme-freedesktop and other ones installed according to the Sound
Theme Spec [1]. It's just that these three sounds are not part of the
the XDG sound theme. I guess they decided not to include them, because
they want to provide a neutral theme and login/logout sounds are
considered part of the branding of an operating system.

I would not consider it a RC bug, probably not even a bug in
gnome-session-canberra, that nobody in Debian has selected login sounds yet.

gnome-audio has login and logout sounds, but they are called login and
logout, so installing the package still doesn't make the commands with
desktop-log* work.

Best regards,
Tobias Hansen
