Why is that?

I did, and it worked! :)
Actually, I put in my ~/.xemacs/init.el (minus the comments):
; Setting tramp-default-method-alist won't work if tramp isn't already
; loaded
(require 'tramp)
; Default method
(setq tramp-default-method "sudo")
; Set defaults for "sudo" method
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-method-alist '("localhost" "root" "sudo"))
And then it works just like I suggested! "C-x C-f /[]/etc/fstab RET"
works like a charm :) Default method and, with it, its default user and
host. Hurra!

I must say, while this works perfectly, I don't think it's too
elegant. I'd use it, of course, except that the above worked :)
Anyway, I tested some more and, in comparison with what I originally
suggested, we have (with the above settigns):
/[]/etc/fstab -- works
/[sudo/]/etc/fstab -- works
/[sudo/root@]/etc/fstab -- works
/[sudo/localhost]/etc/fstab -- works
/[localhost]/etc/fstab -- works
/[root@]/etc/fstab -- DOESN'T work, I don't know why
5 out of 6, looks good for something I tought wasn't implemented yet
;)
Thanks a lot,
