xdvi is primarily for dvi files, as it's pretty non-existant
altogether. I wouldn't bother using it for anything else (athena isn't
really much good, gv is the only app I know which has a decent athena
style).

kghostview could be gv done nice, but it has a long way to go before
it's as polished or has half of gv's functions.

ggv has a few good ideas, but is missing the all-important
scroll-widget of gv, spits some rubbish about not being able to read
its own resource file, and can't read the page size properly, so the
top and right of the text are chopped off. Took some searching, seems
one has to "force override page size". In summary, nice ideas but
doesn't really work.

Me thinks I'll stick with gv for a little while longer, until KDE/Gnome
have caught up. See my post on nzlug for bzip2 extension for gv.

My guess is all that the selection in xpdf does is invert the screen
pixels, it doesn't look like it's got any idea about any text being
there, as evidenced by tha fact that it doesn't copy anything into any
clipboard buffers.
