Problem is not that much, but is disturbing, as "q" does not work. So
error message is not disturbing, but exiting the image is not working
due to that, and those were just hints. Mouse exit works. When viewing
many images "q" is very necessary. It may not be problem if the
Stumpwm, but of image viewer.
