Crash on Startup

Was using Nedit 5.5 on fresh FC13 install.  Nedit  was working fine as usual, until a couple weeks ago.  After some FC13 updates (not sure which one(s) was/were the culprit), nedit now locks up the PC when nedit is launched. Doesn't matter whether it starts from command line or from a file association in nautilus. The window starts to draw (just the window outline, background and menu bar, no menu bar text, no window title, no window resize/close buttons, no text at all).   Believe it is crashing X, not the entire PC,  as I have seen disk activity after the lockup, but cannot bail from/restart X without rebooting. I have to reboot the PC via reset button or power cycle.   

Tried uninstall/reinstall via yum to no avail.   Also was not able to compile from source, but I gave up after a just couple of attempts to resolve missing files.  A search of the archives hasn't turned up a fix.  Have used Nedit for over a decade and hate to switch.  Any clues?   Am running an AMD dual core x64 processor and gnome.  The FC13 install package as reported by yum info is:

Name       : nedit
Arch       : x86_64
Version    : 5.5
Release    : 22.fc12
Size       : 489 k
Repo       : fedora

Seems odd the release is fc12 and not fc13....

Any info is appreciated. TIA
