X11 vncviewer bell volume

[Charles Hines]

Howdy all.

I have my X11 server bell turned down because I think it's way too loud,
but the X11 based vncviewer code always rings it louder than it should be.
That's because of the way it calls the XBell() function.  The volume of the
generated beep is relative to the current base volume setting based on the
passed in percent value (-100% to 100%, inclusive).  So, to make it ring at
the same volume that I have set my X11 sever to requires the percent to be
0, not 100.  This small patch to the X11 vncviewer code fixes that:
