Yes, let xv get rid of itself for you.

Here's how I handled this until I switched to XEmacs a couple weeks
ago and got the xface in the *Article*":

(setq gnus-article-x-face-command
	(concat
	 "uncompface | ikon2xbm | xv -geometry "
	 (int-to-string
	  (- (+ (cdr (assoc 'left (frame-parameters)))
		(frame-pixel-width))
	     (x-display-pixel-width)))
	 "+"
	 (int-to-string (cdr (assoc 'top (frame-parameters))))
	 " -wait 5 -")))

This creates an xv command line setting the geometry the way I want it 
and then calling the -wait option which causes xv to exit after that
many seconds (I used 5).

hth,
