Hi,
I use tramp to edit remote or root files. Although I've read
tramp works well with ido-mode I don't understand it. If ido (or
icicles) is enabled the moment I start typing '/ssh:...' into
the the minibuffer a tramp process is started and dies right
away. No problem if both are disabled. Usually I simply evaluate
a form like this in a buffer (find-file
"/ssh:user@remote:/home/user") which spares me to disable/enable
both modes.
Another question: How can I start tramps ssh with X forwarding
(with the -X option)?

This is why I started using iswitchb mode instead. The processes
wouldn't die, on the other hand they would be going and tie up the
entire Emacs session. That was worse ;) iswitchb-mode works really
well: it does not enforce completion in situations like this, only on
buffers. I found the file-finding of icicles and ido-mode to just
slow me down.

In response to a specific bug report, the Tramp developer (Michael Albinus)
and I recently worked on making Tramp and Icicles play well together. Ido
also has a good deal of code that tries to make it get along well with
Tramp.
It is always better to report a specific bug than to ignore a problem you
encounter. Even if you don't really care whether something works, others
might benefit from reporting the problem. Please try the latest version of
Icicles and let me know if you encounter a problem with Tramp. Thx.

I installed the latest version and it works fine. Great!
Thanks

This enables basic X11 forwarding. -Y would enable trusted
forwarding, i.e. you won't need to set up anything else in X11
authenticity management.

Good to hear; thanks for reporting back.
Tramp, Icicles, Ido, etc. are non-trivial. The developers rely on bug
reports to know about problems that arise. Don't hesitate to report things
that don't seem to work well.
