This is a general problem in gitk. 

It's worse than not showing a label, btw. If it doesn't realize what the 
HEAD is (and it won't), it also doesn't show the fake "uncommitted 
changes" commit(s).

Test by doing something like

	git checkout HEAD^
	echo "Dummy change" >> Makefile
	gitk

and note the lack of both pointer to detached head and the lack of notice 
about local uncommitted changes.

Paul?
