I had the same problems and found the following workaround:
Compile xdvi with -DNOTOOL.

This isn't a perfect solution because page 1 isn't drawn before the window is
resized (upper right button under dxwm). But after that things work fine
(except that some commands don't work - but that might be a consequence of
NOTOOL(?)).

If you don't "resize" the window in the beginning, xdvi will die very badly ...
As I said before: My solution is just a workaround ...
