w3m-img *SHOULD* work in xterm, at least. Things to check: In the environment in which w3m is running, is - the XWINDOW (spelling?) environment variable set to the XID of the xterm window? w3m-img needs this to know which window to paint over. An XID is basically a memory address. You can probably use xprop or xwininfo to find out what a given window's XID is. - the XAUTHORITY environment variable set to the path to your .Xauthority file, of unset if that file is ~/.Xauthority. GDM, for example, will put the file in /tmp if $HOME is on a root-squashed NFS filesystem. w3m needs this to have write access to the X environment. - Obviously, DISPLAY also needs to be set, usually to :0. I think many years ago I accidentally made w3m-img work over the network (i.e. a remote X window), but I wouldn't be at all surprised if remote X has additional caveats to make w3m-img work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
