w3m images are a hack which renders on top of the terminal's drawable, which didn't work in st because when using double buffering, the front buffer (on which w3m draws its images) is ignored, and st draws only on the back buffer, which is then copied to the front buffer. There's a patch to make it work at the FAQ already, but that patch canceles double-buffering, which can have negative side effects on some cases such as flickering. This patch achieves the same goal but instead of canceling the double buffer it first copies the front buffer to the back buffer. This has the same issues as the FAQ patch in that the cursor line is deleted at the image (because st renders always full lines), but otherwise it's simpler and does keeps double buffering.
st - simple terminal

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running st
