At least for diagnosing this problem, I would be interested in an 
alternative to xdvi.

I think my machine is sufficiently fast that "lightweight" is not a 
concern.  I simply cannot find my way around the gnome desktop -- I wish 
to see launchers for everything all the time, and not just when I run 
the cursor over the correct portion of the screen.  The gnome approach 
must appeal to the video gamer; but I use the computer for serious work. 
  With Debian releases 7 and 8, I have been running xfce.

In the workspace I have Emacs, two instances of xdvi, xfce-4-terminal, 
and xfce-dictionary.  I am working on a ten-page text-only document with 
LaTeX markup.  I did not experience this problem with Debian 8.

I found the menu; ENABLE DISPLAY COMPOSITING was checked.  I was unaware 
of the "tweaks" menu.
