Not gonna happen: it has been stated before on this list that 'insight' 
*must* run without X -- which means that tk will remain Win32GUI.

It may be possible, eventually, to have both win32GUI-cygwin-runtime-tk 
and XGUI-cygwin-runtime-tk on the same machine, but nobody has 
undertaken the daunting task to make that happen.  Ditto gtk.

However, I don't see the problem in assuming that GUI apps are presumed 
to be X-flavor (with the tk exception, above).  If at some point 
somebody figures out how to build a similar GUI app/toolkit in the 
opposite flavor, it can go in /opt/.
