Meld 3.12.2 went stable a couple weeks ago and got upgraded from 1.8.5. After the 1.8->3.12 upgrade, the application preferences no longer worked. They neither affect the application nor do they get saved.
If I block meld 3.x and go back to 1.8.5, everything works fine again. On the meld mailing list, they say settings have moved from gconf to gsettings/dconf, and if settings don't work it's a distro problem. The gsettings app seems to work find and can find/change settings for varioius other apps (gnumeric, evince, etc.), but it doesn't show any schema/keys for meld. Then I realized, I didn't even have dconf installed. Is that a missing dependancy in the meld 3 ebuild? So I emerged dconf, and then re-emerged glib. No change; meld 3 preferences don't work, gsettings works the same as before. Has anybody else had problems with upgrading from meld 1.8 to 3.12? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
