I'm working on bringing meld (http://meld.sourceforge.net/) into OpenSolaris
Since meld is written in python, you can download unpack and run the meld command directly. The packages I am creating will do the full install. Everything seems to work, except when I display help I get the following warnings and a core dump. Even then I don't see any big impact, but I can't ignore a core dump. The warnings occur when you open help and the core occurs when you close help. % meld (press Help Contents or F1 key) (gnome-help:5345): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup.

When I run it outside meld I get similar results. Although I have to do a ^C to get the prompt back. % gnome-help ghelp:////home/jwalker/Desktop/meld-1.1.5.1/help/C/meld.xml Anyone see issues like this? Cheers, Jim
