This appears to have something to do with the "volume setting" for system sounds. Something zero-ed the sound level for system sounds (Sound Preferences->Sound Effects". (I did notice that the nice "system start" sound stopped a few days ago). Setting this (separate) sound level to something other than 0, and then logging out and logging back in again produces the system start sound as well as providing a non-zero sound level for applications. However, there appears to be a "downward spiral" issue here: If the "sound effects" level is less than 100%, each time I log back in the sound level is lower (e.g., 83% the first time, 66% the second, ....). I believe I had the "sound effects level set at about 80%. The sound level appears to be saved/restored properly after changing this setting (sound level for "sound effects") to 100%..... This can't be the way this should work. I'll BZ this against "gnome-login-sounds" (i.e., libcanberra-0.12-2.fc12.x86_64) for a start.
