If you didn't build NEdit, then Motif (or lesstif) is probably statically =

linked into the executable.  NEdit uses Xresources to control a number of =

features.  Look for files named "NEdit" in directories named "app-defaults"=
.  =

Also look at your .Xdefaults or .Xresources files.  If all else fails, try =

renaming your .nedit directory when NEdit is closed, then start it again an=
d =

see if it comes up looking better.
