I think resource settings "reside" in the X server at run-time, so you
could try manually adding those particular ones like so, (with queries
before and after for testing),
$ xrdb -query
$ xrdb -merge ~/.gv
$ xrdb -query
Then run gv again. If it works, maybe you could add it to your
X startup, however that works on your $DISTRO+$DESKTOP+etc...
In the past I've also used ggv, which is gnome-ified gv.
