do you have DBus installed/running? I've been doing a fair amount of
coding with the DBus API for bossman, but sadly I feel no wiser on the
various errors that it throws. The other things I can think of are:
* GConf isn't installed/running
* meld is looking for the session bus of your user, which is not
accessible when running as root (maybe??? Not 100% sure on how session
busses work...)
If you run systemd, DBus is definitely running and I would imagine this
would be a GConf error of some sort. If you're using OpenRC, check to
make sure you have dbus and gconf enabled and running.
"dbus status" show it is running. I don't have gconf. I'm using Xfce and OpenRC
