    I wonder why this is in QApplication and not QGuiApplication, internally it just does:
    
    QMetaObject::invokeMethod(QGuiApplication::platformNativeInterface(), "beep");
    
    So, perhaps we should do that, to avoid depending on QtWidgets/QApplication?

    compare with QLatin1String

    Unrelated/Whitespace-only change

When not running under a Plasma session it would be preferable if generic alert sounds are (can be) delivered using the default system sound. The easiest way to do that is to call `QApplication::beep()` ; at least on OS X this will play the user's selected alert sound.
