Bug description

Hi.

I recently noted the behaviour described in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues/782 .

Steps to reproduce

In summary what I do is:

  1. preparations

    $ mkdir 0 1
$ echo foo >1/bar
$ meld 0 1
Terminated

  2. double click the green bar on the RHS

  3. merge the changes (the foo line) to the LHS

  4. quit & choose save in the dialogue

At this point meld freezes.

It turns out that this seems to be actually caused by xapp-gtk3-module being set in the GTK3_MODULES env var. Once I remove it from there, it works and a "Save as..."-dialogue pops up.

Thanks, Chris.

Expected behavior

Not freeze, but open the dialogue.

Additional information

There's some slight chance that the xapp module might have been involved in another issue (causing a segfault in libgtk) I've noticed in meld and which is described a https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues/786 .

However, even with the module present in GTK3_MODULES, I can no longer reproduce this.

Oh and I run under Debian sid, with Cinnamon as DE.
