Did you install the package gimp-nonfree from the  non-free part of the
distribution? Gimp requires this to view .gif and .tif files

While I'm here, has anyone else noticed that xv dumps core if you use the
change size dials in the save postscript window before saving an image as
a  .ps file? 

All the best
