On Windows, the Sounds & Multimedia control panel allows the connection of sound snippets to various operating system events, like window movements, process start/stop, and start-up/shutdown.
I am using GNOME on Fedora 13, and I have not had any luck discovering any similar functionality. Does such a function exist? If so, is it cross-window-manager-compatible or tied to a specific window manager (GNOME, KDE, etc.) or distribution?

As Miguel de Icaza said in an earlier post: "This functionality is desktop and window manager specific."
In KDE desktop environment you can integrate sounds with desktop events, by going to
Configure Desktop->Application and System Notifications.
