I personally don't use word completion, but in Gtk the standard way of
completion is on word-by-word basis. So it might be natural for Gnome users
to expect Emacs to complete the same way. Though in Gtk word completion
is bound to TAB, and in Emacs it is bound to SPC, perhaps some users
might want to use SPC or rebind TAB to minibuffer-complete-word.
