This bug is currently reported against unity, but duplicate bug #743932 happened for me in a "classic" gnome desktop session. And the "related branch" on this bug seems to be for compiz.

the linked branch is for compiz ;)

Not a blocker for beta-1, but needs to be fixed in update shortly after. Adjusting milestone to reflect discussions.

I suggest to unduplicate bug #743932 ... I'm getting compiz crashed every time gitk (and other apps using Tcl/Tk) starts - using Ubuntu Classic not unity. That's also reason, why unity-3.8.2 didn't help me.

I have installed unity 3.8.2 and restarted comp. After that I run gitk and unity crash appear again. So, unity 3.8.2 didn't fix it.
This is information about crash from kern.log:

I run gnome, 11.04, beta2, "Ubuntu Classic", and typing "gitk" from a git repo causes the screen to flash, and then flicker back but messed up, and the system is frozen. I've installed all updates before trying this.
I've noticed that if I manually change Tk/wish to 8.5, running gitk no longer crashes. However, returning it back to the default, and running gitk will cause the crash.
Changing to tk8.5:
sudo apt-get install tk8.5
sudo update-alternatives --config wish
## select /usr/bin/wish8.5 from the list.
So, I'm hoping someone more qualified than me can check on this.
Also, I'm not sure which bug is most relevant to post in, since they are all so similar.
Gitk is doing some fun things with its window. Investigating.
