Thanks, that makes total sense now that you point it out to me.

Unfortunately not. The thing is that the script below works if I include 
it with sh /tmp/gdm_disable_sound.sh in %post.

----8<---
su - gdm -s /bin/bash --command='
for line in `dbus-launch`; do export "$line"; done;
/usr/libexec/dconf-service &
GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound 
event-sounds false;
exit' 2> /dev/null
----8<---

But once %post is finished the installer never jumps to the final reboot 
screen. Only with ctrl-c will it end and reboot. Without the script it 
jumps to the final reboot screen fine. No idea what in the script is 
causing that but I assume I need to use the proper su or sudo 
incantation. Hints most appreciated.
