Many thanks for the quick response.

With squeeze comes lesstif2 (1:0.95.2-1), which provides libMrm.so.2.0.1
and libXm.so.2.0.1. I checked with ldd, nedit binds to libXm.so but not
to libMrm.so. However, neither xpaint not xfig bind to libXm.so (nor to
libMrm.so), so lesstif2 seems not to cause the problem.

I found meanwhile that xpdf shows the same problem. I checked with ldd what
libraries nedit, xpaint, xfig, xmgrace, and xpdf have in common, they are

ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
libc.so.6
libdl.so.2
libICE.so.6
libm.so.6
libSM.so.6
libuuid.so.1
libX11.so.6
libXau.so.6
libxcb.so.1
libXdmcp.so.6
libXext.so.6
libXt.so.6
libz.so.1
linux-vdso.so.1

Some of them can savely be excluded, such as libc.so. Is it possible that
the toolkit library libXt.so causes the problem? How can I check that?

Many thanks, and best regards,
Markus Porto
