Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to some share with Caja (enter sftp://<email address hidden> in the address-bar), so get the folder mounted to /run/user/
2. Open terminal and run Meld from it to compare folder pair:
```
meld /run/user/
```
Expected results:
* Meld opens with comparison of two folders
Actual results:
* Meld shows the error in the terminal
```
$ meld /run/user/
Usage:
meld Start with an empty window
meld <file|folder> Start a version control comparison
meld <file> <file> [<file>] Start a 2- or 3-way file comparison
meld <folder> <folder> [<folder>] Start a 2- or 3-way folder comparison
Error: remote folder “/run/user/
```
and do not open comparison window.
Note: this method works normally on 16.04 LTS and on 18.04 LTS, but not on 19.10 and 20.04 LTS.
