Bug Description
Currently, GNOME event sounds (like playing a bonk sound when the user presses a button) don't work in midbrowser. Normally, all one need do is call gnome_program_init and pass LIBGNOMEUI_MODULE to initialize sound support.
But, such sound support relies on hooking into the signal emissions for GtkButton et al and calling gnome_triggers_vdo.
Since firefox fakes the GTK+ widgets, we'd have to either create a GtkButton and force an emission or just call gnome_triggers_vdo ourselves. Relevant code is libgnomeui/
In the future, I hear such event sound support is moving into GKT+ proper, using libcanberra? That might change the implementation of this, but probably wouldn't make things start working automatically.

should be possible by dlopen'ing libgnome in a native component and wrapping a XPCOM API for playing sound using gnome_triggers_vbo
on XUL side we need to register default event handler and trigger sound events on the appropriate events.
