I am afraid you can do nothing with the XV (excpet writing a patch for
XV code yourself). Latest GIMP puts all warning messages in the single
window, so it should be not too boring. Also you can use tiffcp utility
to create copies of all your TIFFs. tiffcp copies only subset of the
baseline tags, so all 'unknown' content will be stripped down (as well
as part of 'known' content).

Regards,
Andrey
