Thanks for the informations, I managed to find an easy way to look in the big "man bash" :)

I typed
	locate bash | grep man
so I found a bash.1.gz, I un-gzip-ed it, launched a 
	grep show bash.1 -n
found the line #4422 , and it said:

---------------------
.B show-all-if-ambiguous (Off)
This alters the default behavior of the completion functions.  If
set to on ,
words which have more than one possible completion cause the
matches to be listed immediately instead of ringing the bell.
----------------------

meaning that "set show-all-if-ambiguous on" should do what I want... but it doesn't. Shame!
