Geoff,
How do you tell a running version of xdvi to change its position/ page from the shell? If it can be done from the shell I'll look at adding it. If xdvi is to be an officially supported viewer then its going to take me a bit of time to make it work with the rest of the bundle options in texMate.py. All of the viewing commands assumed that pdf was the format that was going to be viewed so its not a trivial change. You are the first person to request support for xdvi. I'm curious if others would want xdvi supported as well.
NO !
dvi is not necessary because I work only with pdflatex and pgf(instead pf pstricks) to get directly PDF files.
Currently DVI is not a very convenient format to exchange
I do not need it either. DVI was never (even in my *nix-starting times 10 years ago) a convenient or comfortable format for me.
