Its running at runlevel 5.  X11 is running just fine, but nothing in any 
of my virtual desktops is asking for attention.  I seem to remember that 
my BIOS has an option to route the PC Speaker output through the onboard 
integrated soundcard, and I set it.  So what I'm probably hearing was 
originally routed to the PC speaker.  I'm willing to believe that it is 
is originating with the motherboard, but I'm unsure where to look.  I 
have the owner's manual for this motherboard, but I can't find anything 
except the following excert:

Under the chapter "PC Health Status" there is a CPU Warning Temperature 
where I can select a temperature (from 50c to 120c) at which I want the 
system to send out a warning message to the PC speakers of when the 
temperature goes beyond either limit.  I guess the next time I reboot, 
I'll go and look at what its currently set to.

I like how the manual doesn't say *WHAT* is sent to the speakers, just 
that something is sent to the speakers.  Quality Documentation, 
Tastefully Presented.
