I'm mostly just terrified by how many people seem to have come to
expect Meld to work from a git HEAD checkout. I mean... *I* expect it
to work but then it would be a worry if I didn't.

GSettings/dconf is actually really unpleasant here. I don't know of
any sensible way I can have Meld work without a build step anymore.
(It'll be a minimal build step, but still...)  We *could* try to run
glib-compile-schemas if we think we're in a checkout, but that's not
the sanest notion ever.

cheers,
Kai
