I am also a vim user and you can get the same functionality with vim
also. In case you are interested, just do the following things:

 1. Compile the latex file as 
 
        latex --src-specials=auto filename

    You can make it permanent by editing /etc/texmf.cnf

 2. In ~/.Xdefaults (or .Xresources)

      XDvi.editor: gvim --remote +%l %f

 3. Now ctrl+click in xdvi opens the file in gvim and puts you on that
    line. If gvim is already running, the file is opened in that session
    itself.

HTH,
