It seems by default sound for login and logout are disabled.

default disabling of login and logout sound is a bad policy. Is this set by openSUSE, or is it an uncorrected upstream default?
Ping!
Pong. This was set upstream as an explicit default. It is left to the user to enable the login and logout sounds if that is the users wish. I don't think that there is any desire to change this behavior for the openSUSE packages. Ping-Pong!
I have no problem with this as a *default* policy but why does this *default* policy impose itself on updated installation rather than retaining the <user>'s already configured choice?
I had logon/logoff sounds enabled and a recent update decided, unbeknownst to me, that it had a duty to reset them to "off".
poor choice!
Change is effective for those that *did not* change any setting, and relied on upstream setting as is. If one would explicitly enable/disable a setting per user, and upstream would change that, users setting would be left intact.
