I am getting this message very very frequently.

from the command line. The most intersting thing is that I may have 5 or 6 bash windows open. Aftetr executiong Meld from one terminal window. If I subsequently use meld from a Different teminal session, these errors spray-out on that first terminal's window:

I execute meld with the following command

   nohup meld "${@}" > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Which sends output to dev/null. I am very surprised to see these messages coming on any screen since the output is sent to null.

It looks to me like there's some kind of service involved not the actuall meld background process
