Hello.
I've some limited experience in debugging some meld problems. I found that 
there is a some share of bugs where interactive debugging wasn't useful for 
investigating problem. This includes:
- Problems depenedent on stratup method/environment. For example some problems 
were specific to starting meld not directly or via IDE but only via `git 
mergetool`
- Performance problems. Introducing debuggers/profilers affects performance 
itself
- GUI input-events related problems. Interrupting app with switching to 
debugger produces extra focus-out/focus-in events, which can be confusing.

So, for cases listed above I often just adding temporarily print() or logging 
to file inside source code instead of using interactive debugger.
