I would appreciate some help from anyone experienced in running gs-Aladdin 
as user.

Running gv gives message "Exec of gs failed: Not a directory"
and Dismiss just leaves the program running until manual intervention.

setuid.Debian suggests chmod u+s /usr/bin/gs which doesn't help.

setuid.Debian also suggests writing a  ps file which drags in /etc/passwd.
This seems an excessively dangerous approach.

gs as root works fine. Even \specials as headers in a tex file will
blitz xdvi for users.
