Thanks guys your advices where really useful.
Now I've only enabled tempbuf mode for "stupid" modes and ido.

The only annoying thing was seeing the minibuffer growing so much every
time I was switching.  With ido-mode this problem is solved, so I'm
already satisfied.

I didn't get this, I try to open a dired buffer but I see the normal
dired.
By the way what is the /put/ and /set/ thing?
Why we need a property instead of a normal variables?
