This is another important feature dropped for ubuntu without being
noticed - just for the record. 

Having a decent dvi viewer was one of the strong points when showing
ubuntu to windows users in my department. Now will I show xdvi? And what
if my voice trembles when doing so? :) Notice that dvi is ONLY used
because of inverse searches of latex code - or else pdf covers all the
needs of a latex user and is more widely supported.
