[0] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160586 ,---- | libglade-2.4.1 is building toolbars using the new GtkToolbar API. | Meld is then adding some buttons to the toolbar with the old API | (append_element).

Just think of a user compiling software locally that relies on the changes made in libglade 2.4.1. Also, it seems synaptic, which also had this issue (see #288642) has already been fixed, as has the Linux kernel's gconfig system. So, I've you cannot convince me that libglade2 should be patched (I think you won't be able to :-P), I'll reassign #290811 this to meld.
