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. Best regards Marvin Dickens
