nedit needs rebuilding with a patch to work around an issue in lesstif with the latest X server. It appears this hasn't happened yet. If I am understanding this mail [1] correctly, until this happens, you can work around the issue by having XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS in your enviroment, e.g. try running nedit like this... $ export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 $ nedit and this appears to work for me when I try it.
