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.
