Actually git-gui saves the geometry to .git/config so I'm not sure
why the sed line above would correct git-gui's display issues. But I
have also noticed this problem on my Mac OS X laptop when running
again after leaving either git-gui or gitk on the external display.
I once started working on a fix for git-gui but put it aside as I
didn't have an external monitor handy. I haven't hooked one up to
my laptop in months so it would be a bit of work for me to test
and debug.
