You said Kicad wont display the drill file and also gerbv will do what you describe in your post, and what I do with GC-Prevue is viewing together a Gerber file and the drill file to see the holes in the pads and so on.

I'm reasonably happy with gerbv; it works nicely alongside kicad. IMHO it is better to use a Gerber viewer that is not connected with the package that created the Gerbers as that minimises the chance of a single programmer making the same mistake twice.
