Well, people will think something's missing if you have no wallpaper,  
and you certainly have to have a window manager theme!!

True.

Yes. I like Mac OS X' occasional subtle sounds. They are quite quiet  
(say that 15 times fast!) and unobtrusive - a crumpling paper when  
you empty the trash, a whoosh when you send mail, etc... I think  
subtle would be the way to go, so people know that the functionality  
exists, but don't deafen/scare them. :)
