Word to the wise: it doesn't *quite* put things back the way they
were, so don't enable it in your long-running session.  I haven't
taken the time to figure out the reason, but after turning
icicles on and off again, partial filename completion was
disabled, and 'z' in a Gnus groups buffer kills the frame.
