Public bug reported:
It seems that, even though the option is set to use feh to open images,
w3m will use just about any application *but* feh to do so. When I set
the option to "feh", it originally used my DE's image viewer (eye of
MATE). I specifically set my "Preferred Applications" to use feh as its
image viewer, and no change. I then uninstalled eom completely, and now
w3m opens Firefox (a private window) or sometimes GIMP (GIMP for some
png files - but not always, apparently), instead.
