Comment 5 for bug 103986

I agree, especially about show-all-if-ambiguous. It makes a huge improvement to the usability of tab-completion, and it dramatically reduces irrelevant beeping. If this setting is off, it causes frustration with the mis-use of the system bell, eg here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335949

Incidentally, Mandriva and Gentoo default to having show-all-if-ambiguous on, but Debian/Fedora/SuSE leave it off.
