[gitk] after exiting gitk the X11 clipboard is "messed up" - it contains the wrong commit

(Using git 1.6.5.rc1.19.g8426 on SLES10 Linux) I am having the following 
  problem:

1) gitk somefile.c
2) find the interesting commit, double click the sha1 id to bring it 
into the clipboard (works)
3) exit gitk
4) gitk <paste from clipboard>
-> the id that is pasted is NOT the one I double clicked but the first 
one in the list

As a workaround I paste the ID first and exit gitk later, but this is a bit annoying (and a trap for gitk users).
