That is the wrong way to set it: It should be in .inputrc, not in
.bash_profile. When you put this in .bash_profile, the effect is to
replace the shell's arguments "$@" by the two words "bell-style" and
"visible". So when the X11 launch procedure runs
/bin/bash --login /usr/X11/bin/startx
the unamusing consequence is that bash runs
/usr/X11/bin/startx bell-style visible
Ugh.
