I would like to be able to open remote files using meld locally, over ssh, like you can do with gnome-vfs.
I did some experiments with gnomevfs (quite) some time ago, but ran into problems with threading (gnomevfs requires threads). Thinking about it again, it might be a good idea to spawn a gnomevfs child process to multiplex I/O to the single-threaded meld instance. Stephen.
