Sure, the window manager can grab keys away.  But then they shouldn't
arrive at the client, that is, at NEdit.  So, I don't understand this
part:

Sorry, can't help there. You needn't try to set the keys via
.Xresources because the accelerator keys defined in the menu take
precedence anyways. If you can define them there, the menu should be
called thereafter.
