Hi,
Just though it could be useful for someone in the future...
My initial problem:
===================
Kdvi didn't display any text if started from command line or from another program which was itself started from command line. It worked fine if started from the K-menu or usinf root.
The key suggestion:
===================

The solution:
=============
I had in my .cshrc a command supposed to change the Konsole titlebar so that it shows the last command issued:
[...]
alias postcmd '/bin/echo -n "^[]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: $cwd> \!#^G"'
[...]
Commenting this line solved the problem. I don't get the last command issued in the konsole title bar anymore, but that's not so important anyway.
Thanks a lot to all that tried to help.
