2.2.4 is identical to 2.2.3 plus a single unrelated security fix.

Please notice you're using a whole new Ubuntu system and all the
difference to the former one isn't just that one came with lesstif and
the other comes with openmotif.  The things you see are more likely
caused by a switch to UTF-8. If you shouldn't need this, you should
stick to the old encoding systems.  On a SuSE system I could show you
the setting where to turn UTF-8 off, but I don't even know if Ubuntu
comes with such a setting, so I can't help you there.

Another guess is that a new X.org could also be the source of trouble.
(If it isn't even something simple like the nedit package maintainer 
on Ubuntu forgot to rebuild nedit with Open Motif.)
