Long time nedit user. On my shiny new Arch setup, nedit works fine until i ctrl-V (or paste using the menu) then it suddenly crashes. vanishes completely. If i run from an xterm, i get the message and backtrace shown below. Any idea how to fix this?
Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard!

Well, I just installed nedit to check your problem and copying, inserting works for me. However, intrestingly, inserting gives me about the same errors you described on Xterm, starting and ending with:
Locking assertion failure. Backtrace:
#0 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 [0x2ba6a6ebd97c]
...
#18 /usr/lib/libXt.so.6(XtAppMainLoop+0x33) [0x2ba6a5aca0b3]
#19 nedit [0x40a14c]
But nedit doesn't quit. There are two thinks to try, that I can think of. Did you once have it running with arch or is this your first try?
1. Maybe there are missing/wrong dependecies in the package. Maybe you need something else or newer versions of something installed but pacman fails to tell you. That could explain why it works for me. Just try a complete update with 'pacman -Sy' if you haven't already, for a start.
2. I could also imagine it to be a compatibility problem with the clipboard of your window manager, especially when using kde or gnome. I'm running it on fluxbox. If you use a big, 'sophisticated' WM, try installing fluxbox (it's only about 3MB in size) and run it there to see if it works.
They say if you reverse play a Windows CD you can hear satanic verses... But wanna know what's even worse? If you forward play it, it's gonna install Windows on your system!

nedit has never worked on arch. but then i've had arch running only a few days, trying it when time permits between other things. Other things are taking more time so i might not be able to experiment with this for a while. Hopefully, it's some fairly simple bug affecting only a few nedit users that can be easily fixed.
