In fact I have files that are stand-alone, and others that sit under a  
root file. And I do use the %!TEX root method of setting the master  
file, not any other - it seems similar to what texshop and bbedit use.

I've tried using DVIFILE=${TM_LATEX_MASTER:-$TM_FILEPATH} in my  
bundle, and it kind of works. But if I go from editing and latexing a  
collection of files which has a master file, to editing a stand-alone  
file, then textmate still tries to use the previous master file when  
dvi-syncing the stand-alone file, which obviously doesn't work. I can  
work around it with two bundles, or restarting textmate, but that  
seems very clunky.

But thanks for your input. I realize that there's not a whole lot of  
folk using xdvi with textmate.
