Could you expand on this? what doesn't work? It's possible that the
requested icons just aren't loaded or available on windows. They're
fairly generic ('folder' and 'text-x-generic'), though the dirdiff
pane also uses a possibly-not-generic emblem. If this is the case,
then it might make sense to ship fallback icons with meld. I'll have a
look at what other multi-platform gtk projects do.

That's odd... the python docs don't suggest any portability problems
there, but reading up on them it looks like there is a bit of a
history of bugs with these. What version of python + pygtk are you
testing against?

Nice - glad to know it has *some* positive effects.
