Are you using Tk 8.4 or 8.5? The man pages for 8.5 imply that the

Cygwin's Tcl/Tk is essentially frozen at 8.4.1. However, I really
believe the problem is that the Tcl/Tk is not a full Cygwin
application: it is mostly Windows, with only a few pieces converted to
Posix through the cygwin.dll, so many things don't quite work
correctly. For instance, the current gitk works fine under a pure
Cygwin build of Tcl/Tk (8.4.13) I have locally. So, I believe the
commit message I wrote is correct.

I just tried installation of ActiveState Tcl 8.4.16, put that on the
Cygwin path, and gitk operates correctly without the patch. So, the
issue seems to be entirely one of Cygwin's particular Tcl/Tk build,
though whether that is due to the version or the odd attributes of its
compilation I cannot say.
