for anybody looking to run meld under windows, there is some very good
news - it's getting closer!
Kai Willadsen recently gave a huge boost by removing most of the
dependencies on gnome. Meld is quite close to running with a vanilla
pygtk install. The only ones of importance remaining are
GnomeFileEntry and GnomeEntry in the glade files. I suspect it would
take only a few hours to replace them with Gtk equivalents. Ideally
the history code would be rewritten at the same time. Double bonus
marks for getting completion in there too!

That would be good news for other non-Gnome users as well!
Meld is the only reason I have to install a lot of the Gnome
stuff that's laying around otherwise unused.
Wishing you the best you know you deserve,

Hi Ben, great to hear you're interested. I've always thought that
keyboard shortcuts support should be much stronger. In the past we've
been limited by lack of library support - it was quite painful to try
to add shortcuts before Kai ported to GtkUiManager.
So yes, grab the code and just jump in! Process is minimal - attach
your patch to a bugzilla issue and discuss anything else here. I know
some people will be very keen to hear any news on this front.
One thing to bear in mind - the current "two toolbar" ui is more
legacy code. I'd like to use the ui merging and delete the tabbed
toolbar.
Stephen.
