I'm using Xfce4 and I've justo noticed that the auto refresh feature of xdvi doesn't work when the compositing manager of Xfce is active. I have to press "R" or click in xdvi window to reload the dvi file.
It may an X-related problem.
After clicking the "no-updated" window of xdvi
xwininfo returns:

The timer doesn't fire after an ALT-TAB
There is no debugging output until one switches to the window AND
either clicks the mouse or hits a key

Sorry, I can't find anything wrong with xdvi's event handling at this
point (and I can't easily install xfce since my gnome libraries are too
old); this will have to be debugged by someone with more experience in X
event handling issues.

Yes, I've tested in this situation. Gvim window opened; xdvi and terminal
windows opened. After running latex from inside Gvim, I run 'xdvi -debug
event filname.dvi' from terminal. After that I have the xdvi window
partially obscured by the terminal. If I switch to xdvi with ALT-tab (with
compositing) no refresh occurs (and no Redraw EVENT is printed in the
termianl). Same thing if I pass to xdvi clicking with the mouse on the top
of the window. To reload the file I need to click in the text inside xdvi
window. Without compositing, forgrounding xdvi window with ALT-tab is
enough to have the .dvi file reloaded automatically.

OK, so there could be several reasons for this behaviour:
- xdvi somehow handles expose events incorrectly, ie. in a manner
that doesn't work with the compositing mode of the WM
- the compositing mode optimizes away some expose events so that
xdvi doesn't see them at all
So when you tested this, there was e.g. part of the window obscured
by another window and the window then raised and redrawn, without xdvi
getting an expose event?

If I run 'xdvi -debug event filename.dvi' without compositing, every time
I switch to xdvi window the output prints the lines
../../../texk/xdvik/events.c:5299: EVENT: globals.ev.flags: 5;
ev_newpage: 4096, ev_newdoc: 32768, ev_reload: 16384
../../../texk/xdvik/events.c:5096: EVENT: Redraw 2 x 520 at (145, 58)
(base=0,0)
../../../texk/xdvik/events.c:5100: EVENT: Cursor: 0
../../../texk/xdvik/events.c:4855: read_events 131070
and the .dvi file updates correctly. If I run with compositing no Redraw
EVENT occurs and switching between xdvi window and another one doesn't
produce further output.

Xdvi doesn't reload the file when only moving to its window, unless the
window gets redrawn due to an exposure event (e.g. when it was partially
obscured before). If you run xdvi without -watchfile, do you see such lines
when running it with '-debug events' (maybe with and without composition)
when moving to the xdvi window?

To be more precise, I use xdvi calling it from inside GVim. I think is
called without passing any arguments, so the -watchfile option is not
involved here. If I don't use the composite manager of Xfce, the xdvi
instance (called without arguments) auto reload the .dvi file, so that when
I move from GVIM window to xdvi window, the .dvi file changes
automatically. With composition, the autoreload feature seems to be
inhibited. But I've checked right now that if I call xdvi from shell with
the line you suggested 'xdvi -debug events -watchfile 1' I obtain that
output and the .dvi file is correctly updated.

By 'auto-refresh' you mean you're using the '-watchfile' option of xdvi?
When running 'xdvi -debug events -watchfile 1', do you see output like
the
following when recompiling your .tex file, although the window is not
updated,
or does the timer not fire at all?
