System name:		pit-manager
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.2P
Display type:		apa16
			megapel

What were you trying to do?
	Get zwgc to do what it used to do, and have different number
	of beeps in different messages.

What's wrong:
	It can't be done.

What should have happened:
	The new feature of filtering beeps should not have been
	implemented without allowing a fallback to the old behavior.
	In particular, the implementation I would have preferred would
	have been an X resource to toggle the filtering (with the
	default to have it enabled), and a variable that can be set in
	.zwgc.desc in order to turn it on and off for individual
	messages.
