It seems you tried running meld without D-Bus running (or as root) like in this case: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meld/+bug/269787 Meld itself does not use D-Bus, but gconf does. I think using D-Bus from gconf is unavoidable thus we are left with a few workarounds. You can start D-Bus daemon by running gnome-session or fake it according to the following guide: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257658/how-can-i-make-a-fake-active-session-for-gconf Cheers, Balint -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
