Hm... when I try this on Debian/bullseye, it inverts the video on the
two first lines in the frame. But I seem to recall it working the way
you describe, so perhaps there's differences between various
toolkits/libraries used by Emacs in this area?

Then it sounds like visible-bell should be visible enough on all the
three major systems we support.
However, I just noticed that an "emacs -Q" doesn't beep at all on this
machine -- because I've switched off all "alert" beeps in the OS
interface. So `C-g' just says "Quit" in the echo area, and nothing
else.
So in this instance, defaulting `visible-bell' to "on" would make `C-g'
more intrusive/obnoxious than previously... which is the opposite
effect than what was originally discussed in this bug report.
