Thanks for pointing out.  (I guess mastering Icicles must be tough...)

That works more like ido, only very slow.  I did some tests with
icy-mode and icomplete-mode on.  It(switching buffers, selecting nodes
in Info-mode) usually takes around 0.5~1 second for the completions to
appear in minibuffer, on a 2.2GHz, Intel Core 2 Due macbook.

Hehe, i'm sorry didn't address it well.  I do look at candidates list in
Ido.  It's still the distraction thing.
