Hi Vincent, glad you like it! > I have meld 0.9.5 using gnome-python-2.10.0, pygtk-2.6.0, pyorbit-2.0.1 > and python-2.4.1. > > Here is the list of problems I encounter : > + deprecation warnings message when launched from command-line : Yes, unfortunately there is nothing to be done about this since I want meld to be compatible with all versions of pygtk back to 2.0. I will probably release a slightly modified 0.9.5 as 1.0 There is a new version in progress in parallel using all the latest (py)gtk functions and new apis such as dbus etc and a scm plugin architecture. > + "Down" and "Up" buttons not working at all (I suppose these are to > jump from diff to diff inside the file). Don't know about this one - it works for me.

Yep, this is a bug - I've should have connected to the "mark-moved" signal which will catch both events. > + help does not work.
