No

The man page does not explain how to access all 5
magnifier windows.
The man page explains it only for the first 3 sizes
(buttons 1, 2, 3).
xdvik version 22.40n

Besides: good work!

    By default buttons 4+5 are assigned to the
    `wheelTranslations' (i.e.
    scrolling). I've now added the following to the section
    `MOUSE ACTIONS' (which is more detailed in the CVS HEAD than
    it was in 22.40n):

    Note that in order to assign magnifier actions to the
    buttons 4 or 5, you need to use the resource
    wheelTranslations (more about this resource below), e.g.:

    xdvi.wheelTranslations: <Btn4Down>: magnifier(*4)\n\
    <Btn5Down>: magnifier(*5)\n

    ah, ok.
    So, one has to decide whether the wheel scrolls up/down or
    pops up the magnifiers?

    Yes I think so (my mouse has only 3 buttons and no wheel,
    but I believe the only way XFree handles a scroll wheel is
    by assigning buttons 4 and 5 to it).

    Honestly, I think having 5 magnifier sizes is slight
    overkill anyway - personally I'm mostly using the
    medium-sized one. So another option would be to assign the
    sizes you like most to, say, button 1 or 2:

    xdvi.mainTranslations: #override \n\
    <Btn1Down>: do-href()magnifier(*4)
