I use lynx with zgv to browse and see images without running X.  Lynx is
configured to "Show images as links" and /etc/mailcap is used to call zgv
to display gif/jpg/png/etc when the DISPLAY variable is not set (X not
running).  Images are not displayed in-line but I don't really "click" them
either (lynx uses the arrows instead of a mouse).  This is nice on a slow
connection because you don't download the images until you decide to look
at them.
