My repository is at svn://gashler.com/meldtest. Here are the steps that 
repro for me:

svn co svn://gashler.com/meldtest
cd meldtest
echo "changed" > hi.txt
meld .
double-click on hi.txt
observe the issue

This repository is quite minimalistic, so I doubt that it is part of the 
problem. Here are the steps I used to create it:

svnadmin create ./meldtest
add the line "anon-access = write" to meldtest/conf/svnserve.conf
svnserve -d -r .
svn co svn://localhost/meldtest ./test
cd test
echo "original" > hi.txt
svn add hi.txt
svn commit -m "initial commit"

If the repository itself is not part of the problem, and I'm pretty-sure 
it is not, then there must be some other difference between our 
machines. It's a 64-bit machine. I did a fresh install of Kubuntu on a 
newly-formatted machine just hours before I found and reported the bug, 
so I didn't really have much time to do anything too unusual. Meld has 
worked perfectly for me in the past on the same machine with at least 5 
different versions of Ubuntu, so I'm pretty-sure the problem is related 
to recent changes. I'm using ReiserFS for the first time instead of 
Ext3, and I mounted /home on its own partition, but I'm pretty-sure none 
of that should have any effect on how Python interacts with the file-system.

Would it help if I inserted a few lines that would print out some 
additional information on my machine, perhaps near misc.py line 245? I 
have never programmed in Python before, but I am capable in other 
languages, so I'd be willing to try if you could give me some guidance 
about what info would be helpful and how to express a print statement in 
Python.
