If\nthese are failing, that may explain why gitk is failing, and you can\nuse GIT_TRACE.\n\nAlso, do you know what commands are being executed by gitk that are\ncausing the failure you are experiencing?\n\nOr... is your ENV (e.g. your PATH) the same for dm and root? In\nparticular, can they find the git commands? This would also be visible\nby not being able to do things like `git log` (or, if it is an issue\nwith the deprecation of the `git-foo`-style command invocation, is the\nGIT_EXEC_PATH set to point to the correct location and does dm have\nthe rights to execute it -- that is, is the x bit set for the\nGIT_EXEC_PATH directory, as per\nhttp://www.digizenstudio.com/blog/2008/11/09/weird-git-gui-startup-problem/?).\n\nWhat error message are you getting from gitk?
