I have compiled nedit 5.5 with openmotif 2.3 beta,
which ships as standard on OpenSUSE 10.2
libXm.so.4
Nedit is a great example of old and tested code, which works without
problems on older versions of Motif. So any problems must be caused
by OpenMotif, not by nedit source.
If I try to open a file, file selection box spits out thousands of
Ignoring Xlib error error code 2 request code 91
This is the full nedit info
NEdit 5.5
Sep 30, 2004
Built on Linux, 386, GNU C
Built at Jan 13 2007, 202303
With Motif 2.3.0 [@(#)Motif Version 2.3.0] (UNTESTED)
Running Motif 2.3 [unknown]
Server The X.Org Foundation 70000001
Visual 32-bit TrueColor (ID 0x2e)
Locale en_US.UTF-8
Can some OM developer please download and compile nedit,
and check this out. If "simple" text editor like nedit has
trouble, then other applications will also break.
By the way, I am using compiz.
Same application statically linked against older motif works OK.

nedit problems on openmotif 2.3 beta
If I compile nedit from development version
http//www.nedit.org/ftp/snapshot/nedit-latest-sources-HEAD.tar.gz
the problem goes away.
So the above problem could have something to do with RGBA visual
introduced in x.org, and support (workaround) for that has
been added to the new nedit source.
