Hi list, there is another nit which annoys me in gitk. Besides the fact that the maximize button (the green `+' button that is part of Apple-style windows) does not do anything, I can't maximize the window on a 2nd screen even if I try manually. Wild guess: I can't make the window bigger than the maximum area usable on the main screen of my MacBook (max area = screen resolution - area used by the Apple menu - (dock hides automatically ? 0 : min size of dock)).

Whether this is a bug in gitk or in Apple's port of Tcl/Tk (I'm still under Tiger btw), this is another story. But if there's a known workaround for this issue, I'd be great if gitk could include it :-)

So I thought I'd let you know.  Just in case.
Cheers,
PS: I've just checked and, yes, I have the same issue with git-gui.
