A couple of years ago I had to produce documents in dvi format for a
customer I did some work for. At that
time kdvi did *exactly* the same thing you are describing. Further, this
behavior was not distro centric: I observed the same behavior in Suse,
Mandrake and Debian. I suspect this is more of a
KDE issue than an FC issue.

As I recall, users on the TeX mailing list helped
me with this issue. I don't remember the fix, but
there is one. Also, the KDE mailing list will be
useless for this problem - 99% of the users don't 
know anything about tex or dvi.
