According to the nedit (5.1.1) FAQ which my SuSE 7.1 distro included, the
.nedit file holds the NEdit Preferences menu options and is automatically
overwritten whenever you select "Save Defaults", so shouldn't be used for
that.  It goes on to say that .Xdefaults is probably the best choice (or
wherever your distro loads resources).
