+Advice always seems over complex to me, but maybe I'm just\r
+prejudiced/ignorant.\r
+\r
+Can you decode/reverse-engineer the fix in \r
+\r
+ http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs/41957\r
+\r

+\r
+Maybe the advice or whatever should call \r
+\r
+ (ido-init-completion-maps)\r
+ (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'ido-minibuffer-setup)\r
+ (add-hook 'choose-completion-string-functions\r
+ 'ido-choose-completion-string))\r
+\r
+Although that looks worryingly permanent.\r
