Are you installing these programs via RPM? That's not recommended at
all. I believe you can find nedit in non-free. Try
'apt-get install nedit'. I don't know about Northern Captain.

You need to read /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz, "How do I run
an X client as root when the X session is run by a user?"

Don't use alien. Install anything that isn't Debian packaged via
tarball in /usr/local and you'll have far fewer headaches.
