problems with nedit 5.6 with 64bit ubuntu 10.04

Hi guys,
I have a 64bit ubuntu 10.04/gnome installed on my laptop and am using nedit
5.6 but it's causing me so much headache that i'm about to give up on using
it.
The most annoying problem is the clipboard. After a while it just stop
working with
"NEdit warning:
XmClipboardInquireLength() failed: clipboard locked."
I know there are many people with this problem, but the solutions i could
find in the discussions doesn't work. I am using gnome and don't
have Klipper installed. And the solution to close all the nedit windows and
start again is just rubbish. I always need at least a few editors open and i
cannot close them all and start again every minute or so.
On top of that pretty much all the time when i use some keyboard shortcut
the nedit window becomes inactive and I have to click on it, to continue
typing. Or when i press C^s i cannot write in the dialog box that opens.
I removed the 5.6 and got the 5.5 binary, but that just disappeared every
time i press C^o. Which is unacceptable, to say the least. So it pissed me
off well before I could check whether the clipboard will work.
On my desktop I have centos5 with nedit 5.5 and it has never caused me such
troubles. I don't know whether it is the ubuntu or the nedit but it's
driving me crazy.
