Leo,

Leo Prikler 写道:
Some packages -- such as meld after the startup fix -- fail to use important resources when simply called from their build directory.

This is… true, and has been a source of personal annoyance for years :-)

As it is, this bug report is a bit vague, almost a meta-bug (‘many packages have bugs’). Because *many* packages have this problem, for different reasons. Most instances are pretty easy to fix once you find out the exact problem, but there's no one-size-fits-all solution.

Do you have any ideas to make it more actionable?

For instance, meld aborts inside a call to `g_log` by
`g_settings_set_property`. In the case of meld, it is sufficient to run the program inside an ad-hoc environment -- other packages may require
to be installed in the user profile.

I fixed this specific example in 3a428dd63af0bec23861a8ed1c76665e8f424265.

Thanks for the report!
