Hmm, OK. After reconsidering the options, it now seems to me that
the interaction of saving the geometry with the papersize
specified in the document, the shrink factor and possible
-geometry options may become rather complex and obscure to users.

So maybe the benefits of saving the window geometry are not
really worth the trouble. I've now disabled this feature in
xdvik_22.81.2-RC3.  I also tried to clean up the X library
linking configure checks a bit (hopefully without breaking
anything ;-).

Since diffs have proven somewhat unreliable, I've put a tar.gz
of the texk/xdvik subdirectory only (and without the CVS
directories) here:

Too bad - I guess it could be anything ...

OK. (In that case, also try things like `R' to redraw or `Ctrl-r'
to reload to see if that has an effect.)

Best,
