Comment (by plainstarchedtom):

 A question about the upstream fix (this might not be the appropriate
 forum, but I didn't know for sure where to ask):  The last comment in the
 GTK+ thread mentions just disabling the beep if a user presses backspace
 in an empty text area.  Does the patch also address the problem I'd
 experienced -- pressing page-up or page-dn when already at the top/bottom
 of a list and getting the beep?

 Anyway, from an end-user standpoint this fix was, in my estimation, pretty
 difficult to implement (but thanks for all the directions!), and I thought
 that the beeping presented a serious functionality issue - although I
 don't know how you determine priority for bugs and whatnot, but I can only
 imagine the headache this could cause some people.  Even though the source
 of the problem is with GTK+, what are the chances of a pidgin patch?
 Alternatively, when will the next GTK release be available/is it packaged
 with pidgin?

 As a pretty basic user, I really don't know what most of this stuff means
 and am just hoping for help for clueless folks like me.  Thanks.
