[MonoDevelop] Code completion stopped working

[Matt Calder]

In the interest of follow up, I guess deleting those files did have
the desired effect though slowly. An hour or so after deleting the
pidb files I started to get some limited code completion (in the
completion windows mostly system commands would appear). After a
little while longer, more options started to appear. It now seems as
though code completion has recovered. I know it sounds strange but
that's how it happened. If it was not deleting those files that
started the recovery process, I don't know what it was. Perhaps there
should be some "recompile code completion data" option somewhere? The
whole experience is somewhat disconcerting. I am now unsure when I
look at code completion as to whether I am getting the whole picture.
