Ooops, looks like this patch was incomplete.  Fixed now.

Because his now covers both ido and iswitchb-like completion

ido and iswitchb do not cover "normal" completion, only buffer  
switching and file selection.  Org-mode can be made to use these  
interfaces also for other completion prompts by setting the  
appropriate options.

I am not an icicles user, but I believe it will automatically affect  
almost all completion prompts.  So just don't set the variables  
selection ido or iswitchb support in Org, and you should automatically  
have your favorite completion setup.
