I am not sure if this would work, but you can try to put that options
in you .Xdefaults file (in your home directory -- create it if
necessary).  Something like

XDvi.densityPercent: 15
XDvi.grey:off
XDvi.shrinkFactor: 8

Then try to logout (and restart X??).  These should set your options
as defaults for the xdvi command.  I guess it's worth a try...

Best,

Luis
