bug#20305: 11.88; View command does not use xdvi but dvips file.dvi -o && gv file.ps

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello


This is not really a *bug* but:

I run 11.88 either in GNU Emacs 24 or in Xemacs 21.5.
Since almost a year I have 
TeX-PDF-mode on. However since I find the behaviour of 
TeX-next-error better in LaTeX mode than in TeX-PDF-mode, I sometimes
turn TeX-PDF-mode off. Now I just found out that running 
C-c C-v does not call xdvi but instead
dvips file.dvi -o && gv file.ps

(Both in GNU emacs and in Xemacs)
I find this counter intuitive. How can I switch back to the older
behaviour. I have not touched the View command via custom.
