Yes, it might have explained it, right now we know the package graphicx
was missing in it's TeX source. However, xdvi will replace the actual
graphics by an empty box of the size of the picture which is supposed to
be displayed. This is somewhat similar to the draft mode, without having
to change anything in your source file and without any label inside the
box.
