About
Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers. Meld helps you compare files, directories, and version controlled projects. It provides two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and supports many version control systems including Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and Subversion. Meld helps you review code changes, understand patches, and makes enormous merge conflicts slightly less painful.
Permissions
3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

--filesystem=host - X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
--socket=x11 - dconf: all GNOME settings
--talk-name=ca.desrt.dconf - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - Wayland display
--socket=wayland - GPU acceleration
--device=dri - sets environment variable DCONF_USER_CONFIG_DIR
--env=DCONF_USER_CONFIG_DIR=.config/dconf
