[BZ#783990] Meld takes a long time to start

Submitted by Jayesh Badwaik

Description

Created attachment 354093 Excerpt of output of python2 -mtrace --trace /usr/bin/meld. (Full file cannot be attached as it was very big.)

I am using the following system:

OS: Archlinux

Plasma Display Manager (5.10.2)

Kwin Window Manager (5.10.2)

GTK2 2.24.31

The meld application takes around than 25 seconds to show the window after entering the command on the command line.

$ meld (wait 25 seconds) (see window)

I tried this command:

python2 -mtrace --trace /usr/bin/meld > output.txt

and I have attached the output.txt. The whole 25 seconds are spent waiting at the line 225187

init.py(39): return getattr(self._introspection_module, name)

I would be happy to provide more information if needed. What else should I do to determine the problem?
