Yaakov,
If I'm understanding this correctly once this change has been pushed we will be required to start an X server beforerunning gitk. As someone who uses git and gitk all the time having to start the X server to run gitk is a pain. I haven't checked this recently, but in the past the X server was a bit of a resource hog so my typical pattern is toonly start it when needed and that's not very often. I understand the desire to switch to X, but I think this deserves some thought on how it will effect the general users.
