It took me some time to realize it but I think ido-mode is smarter than
what I thought.

My filter works, if I do C-x b and tab I don't see any org-file.
BUT if I start to type the name when it matches on one of the org-files
I see it anyway and I can switch to it.
For me it's perfect, even better than what I thought :)

And I don't find any C-c b in org-mode, sure it's not something you
defined yourself??
Thanks
