I had a similar problem, not the same messages but the same idea -
lots of debugging messages spewed onto the xterm window.
I just suppressed them by redirecting the nedit command STDOUT/ERR to
/dev/null. So for example in tcsh I use:

nedit some_file >& /dev/null

Bash redirect syntax is slightly different, look it up in "man bash"
if that's your shell.
