[PATCH] gitk: Add option to not save window geometry

[PATCH] gitk: Add option to not save window geometry

[Rodney Lorrimar]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3396 bytes --]

Saving and restoring the pane widths is not helpful when running gitk
under a tiling window manager. It often results in the second and
third panes being pushed to the far right of the window at startup.

This change adds a preference to disable the saving of window geometry
-- i.e. window position, size, and pane widths.
