I've applied the single-buffer patch from the st FAQ. As advertised, it lets w3mimgdisplay work in st; this helps not only w3m, but other tools (e.g. ranger) that use w3mimgdisplay.
Is there a downside to having applied this patch? In a couple days of heavy use, I have yet to notice any anomalous behaviors or cosmetic changes. Assuming that I'm not overlooking a use case where double-buffering is essential (and I'd be curious to know what that use case is), would it make sense to permanently switch the mainline code to the single-buffered version? -- "I think as musicians, we have more vision than we credit ourselves for.
