Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-4
Severity: minor

HOW TO REPRODUCE BUG

    $ w3m
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/var/distro/stem# w3m
    w3m version w3m/0.5.1, options 
lang=en,m17n,image,color,ansi-color,mouse,gpm,menu,cookie,ssl,ssl-verify,external-uri-loader,w3mmailer,nntp,gopher,ipv6,alarm,mark,migemo
    usage: w3m [options] [URL or filename]
    options:
    ...

REASONING

The usage string is incorrect:

   usage: w3m [options] [URL or filename]
                        =================

The brackets signify optional parameters, but in this case the parameter is
required. Either 1) make w3m start _without_ URL using a blank screen or
2) correct the usage string to notation:

   usage: w3m [options] <URL or filename>

This problem is in the manual page as well, which reads:
