Did you solve the problem with the black window, or is that on
a different machine?

It's a UI change: `space' is now bound to unpause-or-next();
there are already 3 bindings for forward-page() (`f', `n' and
RETURN), so I thought it would be useful to still be able to page
through a file with space, going down if needed, even if `keep'
was specified.

This mirrors the behaviour of `Delete' (up-or-previous()) vs.
`b', `p' and BackSpace (back-page()).

You can change the binding if you don't like it; see
e.g. CUSTOMIZATION in the man page or
http://xdvi.sourceforge.net/customization.html

Best,
Stefan
