I just ran M-x semantic-mode after starting Emacs. Nothing else. Do I 
need to configure more than this?

OK, but it worked. I have messed around alot with ctags, exuberant ctags 
(why is there even a difference?), etags (why etags??) and none of them 
seemed to work right always or it was extremely complicated to set up 
and maintain. With Semantic it seemed to work great, right away. It even 
jumped to the definition of a local variable, no problem. Yes, maybe I 
am missing something with the above mentioned tools, but point is, it 
shouldn't be so difficult.

Whatever you prefer. I can send bug reports to the CEDET mailing list. I 
can also provide patches, but I'd prefer fixing stuff in Emacs then, 
since I already have that source from the Emacs trunk and don't need to 
mess with CVS.

I'll get on the CEDET list and provide an overview of what I have found.
