Summary: Very slow resizing of Nedit window on Xorg 6.8
Initial Comment:
I've just changed from XFree to Xorg and now my Nedit
resizes very slow if I change the size of the window.
This is probably a Xorg problem but I have no problem
with any other program.
I've located the problem to a change from 5.1.1 (which
still resizes quick and smoothly) to 5.2 in
source/window.c:
Nedit 5.1.1 (window.c):
250:appShell = XtAppCreateShell(APP_NAME,APP_CLASS
Nedit 5.2 (window.c):
272:appShell = CreateShellWithBestVis(APP_NAME,APP_CLASS
If I change back from CreateShellWithBestVis to
XtAppCreateShell on 5.2 everything works fine again.
This can also be applied up to version 5.4. But on 5.5
the structure is changed a bit:
Nedit 5.5 (window.c):
363: winShell = CreateWidget(TheAppShell, "textShell",
topLevelShellWidgetClass, al, ac);
If i try to change the call from CreateWidget to
XtAppCreateShell (with respective arguments) Nedit
segfaults on line 666! ;)
666:menuBar = CreateMenuBar(mainWin, window);
I hope I have described my problem with enough details
now. Is it possible for you to make some work-around
for this problem with I guess is more related to Xorg?
My computer is a gentoo system with the following
details which could be of interest:
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1
x11-libs/openmotif-2.1.30-r5
x11-libs/lesstif-0.93.97 (not used by nedit what i can see)
sys-devel/gcc-3.3.4-r1
sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1
Thanks for a otherwise superb editor!

I have this same problem in more recent times.

The solution proposed above (setenv XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS 1) seems to
solve.
Hope it helps.

This is probably related to #1030467. A fix for #1030467 is
in CVS. Can you verify that it solves this problem too?
If that is not possible, can you at least check whether the
trick with the environment variable solves the problem?

The problem is probably related to this:
http://www.x.org/X11R6.8/doc/RELNOTES5.html#41
Can you try setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS and check whether
this solves the problem?
using bash:
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 nedit
using (t)csh:
setenv XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS 1
nedit

You are using X.org 6.8, which is extremely new, and nedit
has not been tested against it. People have reported other
problems with 6.8, which I believe has to do with the
compositing manager. X.org 6.7 works fine (I use it daily).
You may try using the "visualID" resource (see the
documentation) and trying different values to see which is
fastest for you.
In addition to Help>Version, please include output from
"xdpyinfo".
