"DU DU DUUMM DUUM DU! du du dummmmmmmmmmmm."

This are, in fact, not the sounds of tribal people attacking our
village;

Instead, this are the sounds of Ubuntu awaking entire house / home /
neighborhood, right after installation (actually, after first login).

This sounds like a trivial problem, and it indeed should be trivial to
fix - if we do not want to surprise at least some users in this
unpleasant way.

1. Just select a shorter&quieter sound as the login sound
2. (more complex) add option to stf^H to mute in the login manager

Btw, many computers do not allow to lower this unpleasant noise even if
user is suspecting this attack (example: laptop, and now function key
for volume-down).

** Affects: kdebase-runtime (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
