For 'latexmk -pvc', maybe you could create a $HOME/.latexmkrc file (if you don't already have one) $dvi_previewer = 'start xdvi -watchfile 1.5'; $ps_previewer = 'start gv --watch'; $pdf_previewer = 'start evince'; and use evince (or some other) dvi viewer rather than xdvi ('start evince' instead of 'start xdvi -watchfile 1.5' above). I guess even if you close the xdvi window, any subsequent saves in the source file(s) might launch another instance (I don't have latexmk installed so I can't experiment).
