These sounds are actually coming from the window manager, Sawfish, not
from the GNOME subsystem. (That's a distinction which may eventually
disappear. The window manager we use by default isn't the same as the
one modern GNOME uses, and I'm not sure how window sound events work in
modern GNOME.) To configure them, you can either go to the "Windows"
preferences panel and use the "< >" buttons to scroll over to the sound
tab, or you can middle-click in the root window and select "Customize ->
Sounds".
The sounds should be off by default, but you're the second person to
notice that they appeared in the 9.3 release on Suns, which I find a
little curious.
