This is happening because of geomview's default normalization of objects:
they're scaled & translated to fit within a unit sphere centered on the
origin.  Things should behave as you expect if you turn off normalization.
Either select that on the "Obscure" panel, or type "0N" (zero capital-N)
in a Geomview graphics window, or add the command

    (normalization World none)

to your ~/.geomview file.
