'xdvi +expert' starts up with a window slightly wider, as if the buttons were supposed to be there, but no buttons appear. Strangely, if I press 'x' twice, the buttons appear. 'xdvi -expert' starts with a narrower window -- presumably, no buttons should appear. Pressing 'x' once causes the buttons to appear. I think this part is correct, but '+expert' doesn't seem to be working correctly. > > 'xdvi -expert' will display a narrower window (without buttons) > than the one displayed by 'xdvi +expert'.

[snip] Yes, absolutely. I maintain an Xaw package (axe), and I had to do a lot of hacking to get it even just to compile on Xaw 7, and more hacking to get it to *work* with Xaw 7. Compiling under Xaw 6 in XF4 seems to have problems, though... currently, there's a bug against aXe that I don't know how to fix, because it compiles under Xaw 6 but doesn't work correctly. so if you want a permanent fix for this bug, I'd suggest you fix xdvi to work with Xaw 7.
