This works for me too (as I'm using Debian and jed0.99.16 as well) but 
before realizing that I had in .bashrc

  # if DISPLAY is set, assume X is running
  if [ $DISPLAY ] ; then
     echo "bashrc: X is running"
     export  EDITOR=xjed
     export  BROWSER=konqueror
  else
     echo "bashrc: X is not running"
     export  EDITOR=jed
     export  BROWSER=elinks
  fi   

together with

  alias jed=$EDITOR

it should do the trick...
