   I think W3M seems to put another window layer atop the terminal to   
   display images.  It works, but my main use case for W3M is as man page   
   viewer W3MMAN (aliased to man), so I don't care much for it's image   
   capabilities.   
      
   Elinks has a `./configure` option to enable Sixels, which I did, and I   
   see the generated binary being linked to `libsixel`, found the run-time   
   option to enable Sixel graphics, but I never see any images displayed.   
      
          
      
   If someone succeeds with this, please ping me.
