I use this script (xxdvi) on a 1024x768 screen (600pt/in document):

  #!/bin/sh
  xdvi -name XXDVI -expert -p 600 -s 7 -geometry 1024x768+0+0 \
-paper 30.2x22.64cm -xoffset 2.64cm -yoffset 3.36cm $*

You might have to fine tune it for your environment.  I also have the
following in my .fvwm2rc file to remove the borders:

  Style "XXDVI"   NoTitle, NoHandles, BorderWidth 0

Re: OT: Vector graphics in pdfTeX

I believe you missed the simplest path that is

xfig -> (export) -> eps -> (epstopdf) -> pdf

and then the pdf's can be embedded with the graphicx package.
