This is probably because transparancy is enabled in your X-server 
(32-bit visual).

You can try other visuals. With 'xdpyinfo' you can see the ones that are 
available (please send us the output of that command).

To start NEdit with a specific visual, use this:

   nedit -xrm "*visualID: <name or id number of the visual>"

Eg: nedit -xrm "*visualID: HiColor"
  or nedit -xrm "*visualID: 0x23"

Just make sure that you pick a visual that is not 32-bit and please let 
us know if it helps.

I think we have some workaround in CVS already, so you could also try to 
compile a recent snapshot of the code (you need lesstif-devel or 
openmotif-devel for that, as pointed out already).
