ggv will do this automatically.  If you have it running on a file, and the 
file changes, it picks up the fact that it has changed, and redisplays it. 
There's no need for changes to your script, links from editor, or anything 
like that.

It does have other problems: not always responding to keys, limited 
magnification, etc, but for just general WYSIWYG editing, it suffices.
