I actually think that feature should be removed; cwm shouldn't need to re-implement kwown_hosts parsing just for auto-completion. For simple entries, it has worked, but when once there are multiples or even v6 addresses, it's too much for a window manager to do all this just for auto-completion.
Curious what other usage is of this ssh thing. It could be replaced with a simple 'ssh' menu that just takes the host argument; or nothing....
