Alternatively, you can do:

nedit*windowsMenu.orientation:     XmHORIZONTAL
nedit*windowsMenu.packing:         XmPACK_COLUMN
nedit*windowsMenu.numColumns:      60

This has the advantage that for shorter lists (<=60 entries) only one column
is built; the problem is that entries are ordered across columns rather than
down. Again, not completely satisfactory.
