Terminal settings
Activating the terminal bell
I use pine to read mail from the terminal. In many tabbed consoles, there is no notification when a new message arrives; there is no visible flag on the tab or audible beep by default. To turn this function on in xfce4-terminal, do the following:
Go to .config/Terminal
Open terminalrc in a text editor.
Find the MiscBell setting, and change it to TRUE.
I didn't have to restart my terminal to elicit this change.
