The screen is messed up because of the error messages from dvips or
xdvi.  Redrawing the screen should solve that.

I suspect that fixing the problem would be rather simple and involve
quoting the filename passed to the external program, e.g., instead of

   system (sprintf ("/some/program %s", filename));

use

   system (sprintf ("/some/program '%s'", filename));

I do not have the sources, so I cannot say exactly what the problem
is.

Try putting, e.g.,

  rxvt*cursorColor: red

in your .Xdefaults file.
