How did you install Meld? That error is almost certainly indicative of a bad install.

I installed Meld on archlinux using the rgular package manager 'pacman'. I inestigates further and found that the icons were installed  in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions. Since the error mentioned the gnome theme I took a wild guesa and tried

ln -s /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/meld* /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/actions/ 

That actually worked, so maybe that suggests a packaging error?

Yeah, that looks like a packaging error to me. I'm glad that's fixed it for you, but I suspect the actual fix is for the packaging script to call gtk-update-icon-cache after the install. We do this by default in our install script, but provide a flag to disable it (for distribution packaging reasons) which Arch is using. I think the only reason it's worked up until now is that we only just moved actually-loaded icons (other than the default logo) into theme directories.
