I've never had that particular problem. It was your mention of
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS that woke up the "leetle gray cells" (thank you
Hercule). On the other hand, a few people had suggested building from
CVS, so you get to share the blame. :-) You can have a copy of my CVS
built with static OpenMotif 2.3.1 if you want to try NEdit without the:

export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

however mine has a "few" differences - beyond Motif version - from the
straight CVS.

:-) Matey, you were asleep too.

You're right! We should have had a new release ages ago.

This box has an ATI card, and I've never seen the problem because I've
always built from CVS.
