Bug Description

Binary package hint: xslide

The default regexp tests for file extensions to launch xslide is "\\.fo" and "\\.xsl" neither of which perform an end-of-line check. Judging from the other items on my auto-mode-alist, the standard forms of the regexps would be either "\\.fo$" and "\\.xsl$" or "\\.fo'" and "\\.xsl'". I believe the correct file to change is either /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50xslide.el or /usr/share/doc/xslide/dot_emacs.

(I discovered this while opening files named <main_name>.for_<destination>.tex. xslide gets activated because of the ".fo" in ".for".)

I have the same problem. When I open ~/.forward, it tries to load `xslide'. In /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50xslide.el, it should read more like:

  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.fo\\'" . xsl-mode))
  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.xsl\\'" . xsl-mode))

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?
