However, when I log in from my newer Ubuntu 11.11 laptop (ssh -X

with.

FWIW, my theory is that is has something to do with your fonts. Just
a simple end user observation. I'm not a gitk programmer.

Maybe you don't have your fonts set for what-you-want in gitk. Maybe
you don't have the fonts installed/setup on your ubuntu box for
what-you-want in gitk.

I assume gitk uses the fonts that you tell it to, or that are
available.

Hint: the bold version of a font is its own font. You could have the non-bold font installed, but not the bold font. Here's a link on how to
install fonts: http://karmak.org/archive/2004/06/ttfonts.html?lang=en

*If* that is the reason for your lack of bold-ness in gitk.

Also, I see from my install log that it does do something with fonts:

 DEST /usr/share/git-gui/lib
    INSTALL 644 tclIndex
    INSTALL 644 about.tcl
    INSTALL 644 blame.tcl
    INSTALL 644 branch_checkout.tcl
    INSTALL 644 branch_create.tcl
    INSTALL 644 branch_delete.tcl
    INSTALL 644 branch_rename.tcl
    INSTALL 644 branch.tcl
    INSTALL 644 browser.tcl
    INSTALL 644 checkout_op.tcl
    INSTALL 644 choose_font.tcl

I'm not sure how closely gitk and git-gui are tied together.

Hope this helps some more.

v/r,
neal
