Alright this seems pretty odd.
It's possible that our optparse.OptionParser subclass is causing
something weird to happen, or conceivably GTK+ isn't passing along the
command line as we'd expect. If you're still looking at this, I'd
suggest adding some debugging to MeldApp.parse_args() to see whether
command_line is sane, and whether something odd is happening when we
actually parse.
Specifically, we do:
rawargs = command_line.get_arguments()[1:]
and then:
options, args = parser.parse_args(rawargs)
both of which *could* be doing unexpected things.
cheers,
Kai
