$ meld pciutils-3.0.0.debian/debian/rules pciutils-3.0.0.emdebian/debian/rules

just hangs:

The outline of the window appears (via the window manager) but the
window itself has no widgets, no toolbar or menu, no contents. The
process has to be killed, at which point the only error message is:
Terminated

$ meld

does the same

I can only load meld from the menu, which doesn't make a whole lot of
sense because it is the same command.

I've tried on two Debian boxes (both amd64).

Loading the files within the GUI works but is a lot more hassle than
simply passing arguments on the command line (and is difficult to
script/automate).
