(dead_acute, dead_circumflex and so on) only work with OpenMotif-2.1.x.
I had other stability and usability issues with lesstif2 / OpenMotif-2.2
too. If you're a serious NEdit user, anything else than the real thing
will feel unbearable.
That's what I'm talking about, among other things:

Please note that simply switching to upstream-provided binaries (which
contain a static version of OpenMotif-2.1.30) is no solution: (1) those
binaries still depend on libXp, and (2) those binaries are 32-bit only,
with 32-bit dependencies (libXpm, libXext, libXt, libSM, libICE, libX11).
I had to build a 64-bit version for myself, which was enough of a hurdle
in itself. Please don't remove libxp-dev.
Thanks,
