More weidness:
 Trying to open the file inside konqueror by opening Konqueror at my 
home directory, browsing to the file and then double clicking it --> 
Works fine.
$ konqueror myfile.dvi --> NO.
directly using the embedded viewer in kile --> works fine.

So, it only fails if I try to call kdvi from command line as
$ kdvi myfile.dvi

Any ideas about what might be wrong?
