Just a quick heads-up: I was running a dual screen setup with gitk on my 
2nd monitor. When I later started gitk up without the 2nd monitor, the 
gitk window didn't appear. Given the time between the two sessions, it 
didn't occur to me what the problem was.

Gitk should probably validate the "set geometry(main)" variable against 
the current resolution.

Sad to say but this is a known issue with both gitk and git-gui.
Both applications save the prior geometry and restore it during
the next run, but neither validates the new geometry makes sense
with the current available desktop space.  :-\

Seems KDE forces it back into visible space, but it is annoying that the 
gitk/git-gui windows do not come up on the same monitor as my cursor is on. 
Could we change it and save just size, just like "all other" apps?

Not saving the geometry on exit was also suggested through the Debian
BTS, "as window placement and sizing are the task of the window
manager"
