Summary: xdvi does not refresh at startup in expertmode

Initial Comment:
reply address harven at free.fr
xdvik version 22.84.10 (Xaw toolkit)
Libraries: kpathsea version 3.5.6, T1lib version 5.0.1
on a dell latitude laptop e6400
running Debian squeeze with kernel 2.6.30-2-686
X.Org X Server 1.6.5 gnome 2.28.0 compiz 0.8.2
Confirmed on a eeepc 901 running xdvi 22.94.10 with ubuntu 9.04
gnome 2.24.1 compiz 7.8.0

Start xdvi with the command: xdvi -expertmode 0 filename.dvi
Then issue commands to xdvi. Space, Backspace, x etc.
The xdvi window does not update as expected. It shows 
always the same text (first page of the dvi or a blank screen).
The manifying glass however shows the correct text.

If the xdvi window is forced to refresh, e.g. by minimising and
restoring it, then the xdvi window works as expected.

This bug is window manager specific. It is observed with compiz
but does not show up with metacity. 

So perhaps it should be reported on the compiz buglist instead.
Note that this may be related to xdvi bug #2016809.

Message:
And this happens with a very basic document, just text, or is there
Postscript involved?

It would be interesting to check of it's specific to the Xaw version, or
if it happens with Motif too ...

Message:
Yes, it becomes OK after resize the window, or minimize/maximize.  

All keystrokes appear to work.  The pages are changed, but the windows is
not refresh.  One can see that page changed with magnifying glasses, that
still work.  Using x keystroke to switch expertmode also works, but the
result is seen only after minimize/maximize.

Move window does not "fix" the behavior.

Sometimes, the window appears blank, sometimes a fraction of the text in
the DVI file is displayed.

Hi,

and this happens only with expertmode, and it works OK after
minimizing/maximizing the window the first time?

Message:
I can reproduce this bug in a regular Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala), using
gnome (don't know the specific window manager).  I call xdvi expert mode
via .Xresources.
