   Ahh... ok, that might explain it. If it is console only, then it might not   
   work in my terminal emulator, and -g just opens a window in X.   
      
   I would have liked for it to shows images in the terminal, but maybe I   
   need to find another terminal emulator for that to work? I think I use the   
   default one that comes with xfce.

   Hmm, I should revisit that. I did manage to hack together something   
   similar to buffers, but don't remember at the moment what I did exactly.
