Not sure if this is just the one app, but I doubt it. I was 
using that train wreck today and it auto completes without 
triggers. Ended up with /usr/sr /usr/share/are and 
/usr/share/X11/11 because I wasn't expecting the completion. 
It's not really that much better since I'm doubling keypresses 
with bksp. I imagine changing this "feature" is either manual 
GConf hacking or non-existent since I don't have control-center 
or anything.

FWIW, I don't really like the line-of-buttons approach as GNOME 
does it...looks blocky and out of place IMHO. Something more 
streamlined that looks more "together" would be better. I 
really like the mockups that were done.
