>Description:
	The default bell pitch on X is supposed to be 400Hz. Obviously
	the sound produced is at a much higther frequency than that.
	If you change X bell pitch to a higther value, the tone is lower
	(that is, the effect is reversed).
>How-To-Repeat:
	in an xterm:
	%sh
	%set -E # so that <Tab> generates a bell
	%xset -q
	[...]
	  bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100
	[...]
	%<Tab>
	  [ notice that the sound produced is not 400Hz ]
	%xset b 50 800 100
	%xset q
	[...]
	  bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  800    bell duration:  100
	[...]
	%<Tab>
	  [ notice that the sound produced is not 800Hz, and tone is lower
	    than when bell pitch==400].

>Fix:
	Unknow. Bell worked fine before wscons.
