Let me just say that I think meld provides the most attractive diff result display I have ever seen, it's a joy to use just because of that. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages meld depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.24.0-2 ii gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 3.20.4-1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-module 0.30-2.1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.20.6-2 ii libgtksourceview-3.0-1 3.20.4-1 ii patch 2.7.5-1 ii python-gi 3.18.2-2+b1 ii python-gi-cairo 3.18.2-2+b1 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages meld recommends: ii yelp 3.20.1-1 meld suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

Thank you for the kind words about meld. I started maintaining it because I liked it very much, too. :-) The crash you copied is a result of not having the proper DISPLAY configured in the terminal: $ DISPLAY=invalid meld Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (meld:3117): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/meld", line 260, in <module> setup_resources() File "/usr/bin/meld", line 193, in setup_resources Gtk.IconTheme.get_default().append_search_path(icon_dir) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append_search_path' When running meld from the menu the DISPLAY is almost always but in a terminal it can be missing when you for example change user using su or ssh to a different machine without setting up X forwarding.
