Yes, I like this.  I must admit that I didn't even know you could display
images in info files, and have never seen one that does, but leaving
everything blank on a text-only terminal is clearly confusing.

Is it possible to do the something similar for the toolbar?  For example,
instead of the usual GUD toolbar, to have on a text-only terminal:

[print][print*][go][next][step][finish][up][down][info]

where each item is clickable with the mouse using t-mouse.el.
