As I am a vim user I might have done something wrong too, 
not sure. What I did after installing emacs:
cat >> ~/.emacs << EOF
(global-font-lock-mode t)
(seq font-lock-support-mode 'fast-lock-mode)
EOF

Should read setq, not seq.  You will also need to load fast-lock
explicitly before that, since it's obsolete and not automatically
loaded anymore:

Where is the difference? seq was from:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-05/msg00645.html

That was a typo.  AFAIK, there is no seq function in Emacs.

Thanks, missed the (message...)

This string will be put in the echo area when you visit foobar.c.

Confirmed, works now as expected, not confirmation dialog though.

I don't see a confirmation dialog either.
