Had the same problem.

Did two things and never bothered to figure which solved it.

Comment this line out of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

#    Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Added this line to /etc/X11/Xresources/nedit

nedit*visualID:         default

Perhaps assembled X wisdom can elaborate on why it works...

Dale.
