Ah OK. I understand now. :-)  xdvi is starting in expert mode by default. 
When I hit 'x', the buttons reappear.  There's no library problem with
it... I guess upstream must have changed the defaults?

Perhaps this bug can be closed, then. But you might want to change the
defaults, if at all possible, since I'm sure a lot of novice xdvi users
(like me!) would be confused by this, since the previous behaviour of xdvi
was to start with the buttons enabled.
