Situation: Typing xfceTAB lets me cycle through all commands starting with 'xfce', now alphabetically sorted. Typing killTAB and hitting TAB again won't do anything on subsequent TAB's, although 'killall' starts with the same letter sequence. I guess that's because 'kill' is already a completed command and the algorithm stops there.

The remaining commands should be cycled through as well.

I've done some search through the docs of GCompletion and it seems that there is no real way to handle this. As it seems, it only returns a single-element list if there is a full match and this means that no iterating through the rest can be done.

I'll look into this again in a few weeks. Perhaps I'm wrong and my code is just bad.

From time to time I have a look at how enlightenment dr17 is coming along and the run dialog is done quite well IMHO. It's really fast and seems to do the auto-completion stuff right (although the way it's presented in the gui takes a slightly different approach, but anyway...). It could be a source of inspiration (maybe even for xfrun4?).
