Gianluca,
are you able to attach the actual dvi file (or one showing that
problem, alo)? Or, if you want to send it directly to me, that is fine
too. I am curious as to what the issue is.
(Having said that, I started using pdftex a long time ago, and now I
am trying to recall whether xdvi ever displayed images (other than
postscript). It would have to interpret the \specials that TeX
outputs, and it would have to be able to display the particular type
of graphic you included. What is the type of the graphics file(s) you
are trying to display?
Cheers.
Jim

Text is displayed correctly. However, images are not
shown, just a white
area where the image would be. I attach an example here.

Why do you think so? I don't have any other issues
besides xdvi not showing
images and gvim being slow.
