Thanks a lot, that was the right pointer, even if I don't
understand what went wrong.
My CYGWIN environment variable was set to "ntsec tty", and after
doing a 
export CYGWIN=ntsec
in the shell (which according to your link shouldn't change
anything) gitk magically started working!

Thank you very much my saviour, now I can use gitk in office too ;-)
