Yeah, well. I tried this with my zsh setup, which obviously does some
things differently then grml's setup. I am able to reproduce the
problem, using grml's setup.

However, I think your fix is not the best solution, we can provide. I
am attaching two exports. Please review. I *think* they are ready for
inclusion.

One minor bit, which requires fixing, too (I guess):

[snip]
-  '-display:display for xserver:(7 8)'
+  '-display[display for xserver]:display:(7 8)'
[snap]

'7' and '8' as the only completions for -display? Reason?

Just for the record:
  check_com() is available outside of our zshrc now.
