Bug Description

Binary package hint: gaim

I use "Command" as sound-method, and I found out that Gaim crashes if the command I've specified as "Sound command" (e.g beep -f 1000 -n -r3 -l 10 --new) can't be found.
How to reproduce:
1. Open Preferences -> Sound.
2. Change Method to "Command".
3. Type non-existent command to the Sound Command-box.
4. Close the window.
5. Try to create a situation where sound should be played, e.g send a IM to yourself if possible or something.
6. Gaim goes boom.

Using Feisty's Gaim 2.0.0 beta6-1ubuntu4.

Doubt it, IIRC this haven't happened since Gutsy, so I think this bug can be closed... (Semi-useless sidenote: Upstream's Pidgin 2.5.0 doesn't crash)
