Yes, Fedora recently forced a a switch to lesstif, removing the 
openmotif I was using when I upgraded.  Now I'm getting annoying messages:

    XtUngrabButton(tabBar,3,0)
    Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab

when I exit nedit.  I tried downloading the binary from nedit.org which 
statically links against Motif and the problem seems to be fixed, 
although I'm not entirely convinced it won't reappear because I thought 
I had it fixed before only to have it reappear.
