That seems to have fixed it (as well as forcing me to learn
something new about bash :-).

$ type gv
gv is hashed (/usr/bin/X11/gv)
$ hash -r
$ type gv
gv is hashed (/usr/bin/gv)

And now it works. (It also worked in some newer bash instances - I can
keep the same xterms around for months)

It seems that the files included in the package have changed (maybe not
intentionally) since September. On Jan 3 Debian Unstable gave to me a
new gv package with the gv binary moved to /usr/bin/gv. *shrug*.

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.
