Bug Description

This is true with 12.04 and 12.10 and likely earlier versions.

And to be honest, I've actually only tested against rxvt, xterm, uxterm, and related variants. I've tried it within and without tmux. I've tried changing the value of $TERM in lxterminal. No matter what the same results:

1. In non-lxterminal terminals, w3m-img displays inline images.
2. In lxterminal, w3m-img does not display inline images.

I tried to figure out the solution to the problem, thinking that perhaps it had something to do with the termcap entry. Turns out xterm is what lxterminal uses. Again, xterm itself has no problems. My only thinking is that the termcap entry for xterm describes capabilities that lxterminal does not have. I'm not sure that this can be solved with a new termcap entry specifically for lxterminal or if there is something lxterminal lacks. I'd be happy to investigate further if someone can offer some direction.

It's probably fixed upstream, could you try using the LXDE daily PPA : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/lubuntu-daily ?

I realize now the summary is poor. It's not that w3m-img doesn't work, it's that the inline images dont' display. The linked upstream bug seems to do with context menus and mouse support, not inline images.

Also, there seems to be a bug with add-apt-repository in Quantal, or at least mine. So I'm going to play with that and issue another bug as necessary but I think it's clear that this should go back to being new, unless you can confirm and we call it committed.

no change on 0.1.12~bzr564+201209101302~quantal1. as i said, the linked upstream update seems more to do with mouse support than inline image support.

Ok thanks for the check. I removed the upstream bug since it's not the same problem.
