In gv-3.5.8-ipl14mdk, /etc/X11/app-defaults/GV is not considered as a configurtion file and because of this all configuration done by the administrator is erased upon upgrade. --- Install an older version of gv, edit /etc/X11/app-defaults/GV and upgrade. The file will be replaced by the standard version. ---
Should be fixed in gv-3.5.8-ipl16mdk
