logged in to the machine itself (openssh-3.8.1p1 client/server).
started xterm -- almost fine -- anyway, strange message
started xclock -- fine
started nedit -- ERROR: BadAtom
logged out
started nedit locally -- no problem.
logged it to another machine running openssh-3.7.1p2
started nedit -- ERROR: BadAtom

if you login from blade100-3 (openssh-3.7.1p2 client) to blade100-2 (openssh-3.
8.1p1 server) then nedit starts fine!

i've heard that in 3.8p1 the same thing happens.

i try to attach a ``ssh -Xvvv'' to this report...
