(Disclaimer: I have not tried the patch.)

The introduction of new user options which affect the visible bell on
one window system must be attended by comparable modifications to all
the others, which is infeasible inasmuch as other window systems don't
provide straightforward mechanisms for inverting the contents of a
window.

While the last sentence is not directly relevant to the patch itself,
I'm for leaving the code as it is; the present state of affairs has
withstood the test of time, and it would be unwise to change it by
caprice.
