Yup.  My hope was that Xdvi would eventually gain support for SyncTeX.
It seems this hasn't happened yet.

This is not a workaround but the recommended way to control which
mechanism is used for I/O correlation.  The drawback obviously is that
this will also switch the mechanism for PDF output.

If you want to control the mechanism on a per file basis, you can set
`TeX-source-correlate-method-active' as a file variable like this:

%%% TeX-source-correlate-method-active: source-specials

_This_ I would call a workaround.
