Re: Meld 1.2 and PyGTK version?

["Stephen Kennedy" <stevek gnome org>]

Hi Geoff, yes the required version number should have been bumped.
I can't recall how deep the 2.12 dependencies go. You may be able to run
on 2.10 with some judicious commenting out (if you don't mind losing
that tooltip!) Failing that, there's always the 1.x series.

Regards,
Stephen.
