nedit rebuild doesn't fix it, darn.

I did some googling on this. It sounds like it's been fixed in their cvs repository. In the mean time, there are two fixes:

1.) run as:
nedit -xrm '*visualID: default'
or

2.) add following line to ~/.Xdefaults:
nedit*visualID: default

This patch should fix the issue. Haven't had time to build or test it yet.
