Ok, thanks for confirmation. I wasn't sure if that's me, Gentoo, or tk.

On related note: do you know of any way to start gitk with sensible layout under cygwin? I ended up with commenting out sourcing of .gitk. It produces a window compressed in one block, which I can resize and relayout later. Any other attempt to preset the size or layout either can't be (literally) seen or can't be changed into something usable.
