  Hi,
  A few days ago there was a similar issue discussed in
  [1]http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/281003
  In the last answer James proposed a solution that seemingly resolved
  that issue.

I just upgraded my system and "meld" as well.
I'm using "cfg-update -u" to compare files that did change utilizing meld
When I try to compare two file as root using meld I get:

I've changed to permission on /dev/shm to 1777 and recompile both pythons 
2.7.5-r3 and 3.3.2-r2
but it makes no difference. Meld 1.8.2 starts empty OK but when I try to open any file I get that error.
