Thank you for supplying these additional information. They will help us a lot.
@Bernhard: What do you think, is it desired behavior that GNU gv uses XUSERFILESEARCHPATH if and only if ~/.gv is unusable? I would say no. The documentation is quite vague about it: "The name of this file is either @file{~/.gv} or as described by the @code{XUSERFILESEARCHPATH} environment variable." As you can read, there is no word about which variant is taken under which condition.
I'll improve the error message this weekend e.g. by replacing ~/.gv by the file that is actually used and an additional text if XUSERFILESEARCHPATH is set. Furthermore I'll enhace gv-update-userconfig to accept an optional parameter. If it is given, it'll be used instead of ~/.gv.
