-## Why do images not work in st (in programs such as w3m)?
 
-This is a terrible hack that overdraws an image on top of the terminal emulator

+## Why do images not work in st using the w3m image hack?
+
+w3mimg uses a hack that draws an image on top of the terminal emulator Drawable
+window. The hack relies on the terminal to use a single buffer to draw its
+contents directly.
+
+st uses double-buffered drawing so the image is quickly replaced and may show a
+short flicker effect.
