Hi Kai,
Thanks for your response!
TL;DR: libintl is **not** problem. I was able to link it. hi-color-icon-theme
also **not** issue. I installed it. No icon shows for "version control". See
more details below:
1. I linked to the wrong file, but that's obviously not the problem. I am using
`GTK/runtime`, but I was looking in `lib`, but the `libintl` is in `bin`. But
for some reason python doesn't like `cdll.intl`, I have to use the following:
intl = cdll.LoadLibrary("libintl-8.dll")
and then it loads fine. So that is obviously _not_ the problem. So I don't
think you need the try/except behavior unless you want to try it using
LoadLibrary and libintl-8, which may fail on some systems without PyGTK/GTK+
which I assume all have the same version of gettext.
2. as I stated in #1, I _am_ using PyGTK/GTK+ all-in-one bundle, but I am using
the x64 versions - GTK+, version 2.22.1 is from gnome [1] and PyGTK, same
version, is from Christoph Gohlke [2]. I'm not sure if that is the difference.
Is it possible that my version is too old for meld now?
3. here is the windows python crash report:

4. I installed the hi-color-icon-theme, and I don't get that warning anymore,
but the other message is still there. here is the traceback **with** hi-color
theme installed
$ meld
(python.exe:3296): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_loadable_icon_load: assertion
`G_IS_LOADABLE_ICON (icon)' failed
**
Gtk:ERROR:gtkrecentmanager.c:1942:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed:
(retval != NULL)
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
5. So what I've noticed is that the new version control icon is X-ed out as if
it can't be found. Could that be what is causing the crash? bizarre
I will try to troubleshoot more if I get a chance. Thanks!
