So nedit may have done all it can do.  (Or all we (I?) can ask.)

It is disabled--probably since the last time I asked on the list and somebody 
(maybe you ;-) suggested it.  It may have helped some things (I think I had 
some other problems at the time), but I still have the (for example) kmail 
and klipper hanging problem.  Not every time, but often enough to be 
frustrating.
