I debugged the code a bit and found that the parser jumps back and
forth not only by character but sometimes also by words (take a look
at c-backward-sexp). I am far away from understanding what's going on
there, but it seems to help if you not only add "public slots" but also
"slots" to the regular expression. While typing your code the parser
identifies the "public slots:" as a label and indents it like that, but
c-indent-defun works (most of the time :-)
