Some packages -- such as meld after the startup fix -- fail to use
important resources when simply called from their build directory. For
instance, meld aborts inside a call to `g_log` by
`g_settings_set_property`. In the case of meld, it is sufficient to run
the program inside an ad-hoc environment -- other packages may require
to be installed in the user profile.
Regards,
Leo

This is… true, and has been a source of personal annoyance for
years :-)
As it is, this bug report is a bit vague, almost a meta-bug (‘many
packages have bugs’). Because *many* packages have this problem,
for different reasons. Most instances are pretty easy to fix once
you find out the exact problem, but there's no one-size-fits-all
solution.
Do you have any ideas to make it more actionable?

I fixed this specific example in
3a428dd63af0bec23861a8ed1c76665e8f424265.
Thanks for the report!

I concede, that the initial formulation was a bit too vague and that
meta bugs are not that good unless they can easily be addressed.
Thanks :)
