Bravo!  And thank you.  Completions is now correctly redirected: no more
read-only error.

However, I now see this problem, which might or might not be due to this fix -
dunno.  It seems that the *Completions* window is still not a proper dedicated
window, at least some of the time (?).

`C-g' and `C-]' in Icicles during completion invoke
`icicle-abort-recursive-edit' (in file icicles-mcmd.el), which does this:

(if (not (active-minibuffer-window))
    (when (get-buffer "*Completions*")
      (kill-buffer (get-buffer "*Completions*")))
  (icicle-remove-Completions-window 'FORCE))
(abort-recursive-edit)

This should remove the *Completions* window/frame.  In the case in question, the
second branch of the `if' is taken, invoking `icicle-remove-Completions-window'
(which is also in file icicles-mcmd.el).

What is happening now is that the first `C-g' does not remove Completions (e.g.
delete the frame) - a second `C-g' is needed.

Similarly, if you do `C-x 0' in the minibuffer it should remove Completions (it
is bound to `icicle-remove-Completions-window').  That also does not work (no
matter how many times you use it in a row).

Here is what is happening, by `M-x debug-on-entry icicle-abort-recursive-edit'.
