If you've got the "Nautilus Actions Configuration" package installed,
you can even add meld to the context menu to compare two separate files.
Just fire up System/Preferences/Nautilus Actions Configuration,
click on Add
For Label: enter "Compare"
For Icon: enter "/usr/share/pixmaps/meld.png"
For Path: enter "/usr/bin/meld"
For Parameters: enter "%M"
On the Conditions tab,
Select "Both" for "Appears if selection contains"
and tick on for "Appears if selection has multiple files or folders"

Then you can select two files, right click, and select "Compare" and
meld will show you the differences between the two.
