gitk and git-gui are both not respecting git config.

When I set the diff.algorithm global config to patience, the command line git respects the config. However, both gitk and git-gui don't. When I use "git status -vv" to get a diff of the working directory, the diff produced respects the algorithm choice. The diff of the working directory in gitk and git-gui both still use the default diff algorithm, rather than the algorithm from the config.
