I don't see what makes them particularly ugly.  I don't claim they're
ideal for the job at hand, but they might be "the closest" we have (tho
maybe we could use a standard frame, and be extra careful to strip its
mode-line, header-line, tool-bar, menu-bar, ...).

I don't see how that could work for icomplete (which displays remaining
completion candidates in an unobtrusive way).
