   I take that back.  It listens to "-display", but that's about it...

The problem is the program name -- program names with dots in them
screw up the toolkit.  I thought this was fixed in R4, but I guess
not.

I put symlinks called "new-xdvi" pointing to xdvi.new in all of the
binary directories in the sipb locker; they'll appear when the locker
updates tonight.  If you use new-xdvi instead of xdvi.new, the options
and resources will work.
