I don't like the visual bell because it is too startling. The FSF
Emacs change sounds like a step in the right direction to me.
I used to use visible bell a lot and the FSF thing looks like an
improvement to me. BTW it flashes the top-most and bottom-most lines
of the screen -- I think someone said it was just the top-most.
As another variant, I think that Hemlock's visible bell flashes the
edges of the screen. Sort of like what FSF's Emacs does, but adding
the left-most and right-most column (or two) as well.
