Bug#824603: meld gives python traceback on first use after installation.

[Andrey Gursky]

Hi,

the exception occurs since commit [1]. Not only GtkShortcutsWindow, but
also set_help_overlay() function for GtkApplicationWindow have been
introduced in GTK+ 3.20 [2].

No requirements bump needed. Please try the patch, I've proposed on [3].

Thanks,
Andrey

The meld here seems to be obsolete.

Could not reproduce it with 3.16.3-1 on latest stretch.

I tried to but could not reproduce the issue on latest testing.

Could you please give it a try again?

I ran:
mkdir /tmp/fake-home meld
cp .Xauthority /tmp/fake-home/
HOME=/tmp/fake-home meld

but got no traceback.
