Ronald,

This is probably another mismatch between KDE's settings and those
picked up by Motif from the X server for NEdit. You can try setting
the resource nedit.multiClickTime (see nedit's Help->Customizing->
X Resources) to adjust the time to a suitable value for you - use the
-xrm argument to test it out, eg:

  nedit -xrm 'nedit.multiClickTime: 900' other-arguments...

Once you've chosen a decent value, store it in an X resource file as
described in that help information or in
  http://www.nedit.org/niki/index.php/X-Resources
(the page I mentioned before).
