I'm disturbed by everything that's not see. In particular, I'm not happy 
with sensible-pager being used here because I have PAGER set to less, but 
under X I'd rather use Emacs to display text files. I can't set PAGER to 
gnuclient, emacs, or whatever, because some programs rely on its being a 
terminal program, e.g. man.

xdvi also makes me unhappy, yes.
