Bug#804815: meld doesn't work with gtk-3.18.3

[David I. Lehn]

Package: meld
Version: 3.14.1-1
Severity: important

As mentioned in upstream bugzilla, meld doesn't work with gtk-3.18-3.
It makes meld rather useless since you can't see file diffs or do
merges.  It appears an API change causes tuples to be returned vs an
iterator.  I added a patch to the bugzilla report to get the app working
but it seems like a hack so hopefully someone with better familiarity
with the code will figure out a proper fix.
