Meld fails to start; complains about launchd not providing socket path

[Garth Dahlstrom]

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit of a mac ports noob,  I searched around, but haven't found
anything specifically relating to meld and this issue.

I'm wondering if there is some Gnome base dependency (this is the first
gnome based app I've tried), KDiff3 built, so I know at least the base X11
is okay.

Any suggestions as to how to fix the error below, or even what terms I
should be googling for would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-G
