I have also tried:

M-x customize-variable RET TeX-view-style RET 

which gives me:
Tex View Style: Hide
INS DEL Regexp: ^a5$
            Command: kdvi %d -paper a5
INS DEL Regexp: ^landscape$
            Command: kdvi %d -paper a4r -s 4
INS DEL Regexp: .
            Command: kdvi %d
INS
   State: this option has been changed outside the customize buffer.
List of style options and view options. Hide

So it is setup for kdvi but running C-c C-c does just start xdvi as usuall
