Gnome 3 Alert Sound effects not changing

Asked by Kanehekili

Using the SoundPreferences "Sound Effects" tab I changed the default alert sound to "Glass" (or any other Sound)
Clicking on the selection produces the correct sound.

The selected sound is not played by any other application. (The default sound is still used)
 After logout or restart none of the tested applications (e.g Terminal or Firefox) is using the newly selected sound - the default sound is till played.

This happens with Gnome 3.4 and Gnome 3.6 on about any Debian system (wheezy, Ubutunu 12.10) I've tried.

Please note that this is NO issue with Fedora 17 (Gnome 3.4) , where it works flawlessly.
