Looks nice, but the geometry restoration code doesn't seem to work
when using the themed widgets.  I normally have gitk set so that the
top pane is about half the height of the bottom pane, but when I start
gitk with this patch both panes always come up about the same height,
no matter what sizes they had last time gitk ran.

I notice that the code that restores the height and width of the top
pane is now inside if {!$use_ttk}.  Is there no way to restore the
pane layout with the themed widgets?

Paul.
