Well, I do not know X11 as good as I need to answer this question. The 
Manual gives a hint:

--- begin cute ---
There are two methods that can be used to save the contents of the
window when it's not currently displayed: backing store and backing
pixmap. Some X-servers seem to support only backing store (eg.
VAXstations) and some only backing pixmap (eg. some X-terminals,
including EWS).

In order to force gv to use one method or the other, use the
State | Setup Options ... menu and toggle the "Backing Pixmap" button.
When selected/highlighted (normally the default), gv will use backing
pixmap; otherwise it will use backing store. Select "Apply" to use a new
setting and "Save" to make it the new default.
-- end cite---

Anyway, perhaps someone other can help, I'll forward the question to 
bug-gv and help-gv.
