Today, gitk works beautifully for me.  Yesterday, though, I had a weird
first experience when it opened a very attractive tcl/tk interface which
displayed no text of any kind.  I tried fiddling with the two menus you
provide, bit still no success.

I finally just gave up.  When I tried gitk again today -- it was magic!
All the kernel tree appeared just as (I suppose) you intended.

As far as I know, I did nothing to change anything since yesterday.
Can you venture a guess why I had sucess today and failure yesterday?

Does gitk perhaps depend on a generated database of some kind before
it will work properly?
