I must have the shells set up differently. If I ssh to my work computer
and use the login shell, it doesn't work, but if I start bash inside
the login shell, then it works. What is strange is that I upgraded my
home computer's bash to the newest version (newer than my on my work
computer), but it doesn't work there, even if I explicitly launch bash
from inside the gnome-terminal's shell. I guess I have to fetch the RPMs
from that page you mentioned and set up bash-completion on my home
computer. Then it becomes a bash matter instead of a Gnome one, so it
shouldn't be discussed on this list.
