CC Mode does handle the QT constructs like "signals:" and "slots:",
though there could well be bugs in that bit of the code.

These things are handled OK in one of CC Mode's test files.

Could you send me some sample C++ code, preferably reduced to just a few
lines, which illustrates all these problems, please.  Please describe
exactly what you get, and also say what you expect, and how that differs
from what you actually get.

Also, most importantly, would you supply information on what versions of
(X)Emacs/CC Mode you're using.  The easiest way to do that is with C-c
C-b, which initialises an email buffer.  Please do this and send me all
the configuration information that this generates.  This will help me
track down the problem and fix it.
