This seems to be a xlib problem with the composite extension. For now you have
two solutions:
1) Set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS environment variable
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
2) Set visual for nedit to Default
nedit -xrm "*VisualID: Default"

The author claims that:
"It still allows an user to redefine the default visual by the -xrm nedit
option, but it disables best visual detection and sets the Default one
regardless the list of visuals which is available."
