Package: xemacs21
Version: 21.4.19-1
Severity: normal

The packages 'auctex' and 'texinfo' both define a function 'tex-mode'
and autoload it, from 'auctex/tex.el' and 'auctex/tex-mode.el',
respectively.  This is bad, and it means that when you first open a
TeX file, one or the other will be chosen.  I'm not sure which one
gets picked--I have two installations, and for some reason one loads
the file from auctex and the other loads the file from texinfo.

My only idea for fixing this would be to rename one or the other
function.  Why does texinfo define a tex-mode, anyway?  It's surely
less useful...

(Similar comments hold for latex.)

Workaround for anyone that wants to use AucTeX: add the line

  (require 'tex)

to your .xemacs/init.el.

Peace,
