Alright, I found the solution to my problem. Albi, you gave me the idea to
try to launch gvim from shell, so I launched:
gvim filetoedit.tex
and the \lv command worked, meaning gvim managed to launch kdvi. Fine.
So what was happening when I was opening the file by double-clicking on it?
gvim was executed with the -f option, meaning the file was started with the
following command:
gvim -f filetoedit.tex
Here is was the man page of gvim tells us about this option :
-f Foreground. For the GUI version, Vim will not fork and detach
from the shell it was started in. On the Amiga, Vim is
not restarted to open a new window. This option should be used when
Vim is executed by a program that will wait for the edit
session to finish (e.g. mail). On the Amiga the ":sh" and ":!" commands
will not work.
Now, I don't understand at all what this option does but executing gvim
without it solves the problem. All I had to do was to tell Konqueror that
after double-clicking on a .tex file the command gvim %U is executed.
Thanks everyone
