Problem when running nedit

[Keith]

I'm trying to run nedit from in 6.10 and downloaded the
nedit_1%3a5.5-1ubuntu1_i386.deb package using Synaptic.



~$ nedit

   Major opcode of failed request:  70 (X_PolyFillRectangle)
   Serial number of failed request:  310
   Current serial number in output stream:  320

~$ nedit -V
