This sounds like a broken Xaw3d to me. For further invastigation, the 
source code (including all patches) of the Xaw3d package of your 
distribution would certainly help.

But most probable one of the patches mentioned in README.I18N (shipped 
with GNU gv) is missing in the Xaw3d package.

A fast check would be to disable international mode temporary (  
"GV*international: False"  in "~/.gv" ). A broken Xaw3d will start 
working then in most cases.

Well, it's time for a new GNU gv release, really :-)
