[PATCH xinit] remove bogus \/ escapes

From: Ingo Schwarze <schwarze at usta.de>

some X manuals use then escape sequence \/ when they want to render
a slash.  That's bad because \/ is not a slash but an italic
correction, never producing any output, having no effect at all in
terminal output, and only changing spacing in a minor way in typeset
output.
