Hi Daniel,

I just tried this with Cygwin (very recent version) and Mercurial 0.9.1. The
'hgk' script is able to launch 'hg' now, but I suffer from the resize bug.

I even copied my 'geometry' values from my Linux ~/.gitk to my Cygwin
~/.gitk, but it starts up with all the canvas geometries messed up. When I
close the window, ~/.gitk ends up with all the canvas geometries set to -1
or -2 instead of the correct values. In fact, I can only resize the canvases
if I first erase ~/.gitk. If the file exists, I get resize "handles" but
they fail to move anything.

I will try again with Mercurial 0.9.3, as I imagine that gitk / hgk has been
updated since 0.9.1. I will post again once I try the new version...

Thanks,
Joe

PS - It worked the same with or without the 'path' value under the 'hgk'
section, but I have 'hgk' installed in /opt/vcs/bin along with 'hg', and
that directory is already in my bash PATH.
