(this was sent to gnu.emacs.gnus but this group does not seem to be very
active)

Recently I installed:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2016-12-01, modified by Debian
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

then I run emacs as daemon with server
then I connect to it with emacsclient via ssh with X tunneling, and try
to read news with gnus.


And after some time I got:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument timerp nil)
  signal(wrong-type-argument (timerp nil))
  cancel-timer(nil)
  w3m-idle-images-show()
  apply(w3m-idle-images-show nil)
  timer-event-handler([t 0 1 0 t w3m-idle-images-show nil idle 0])
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--

since then this message appears every 5-10 sec or so, which is really
annoying.
What can I do with that?

If only you had a personality instead of an attitude.

   And after some time I got:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument timerp nil)
     signal(wrong-type-argument (timerp nil))
     cancel-timer(nil)
     w3m-idle-images-show()
     apply(w3m-idle-images-show nil)
     timer-event-handler([t 0 1 0 t w3m-idle-images-show nil idle 0])

   since then this message appears every 5-10 sec or so, which
   is really annoying.  What can I do with that?

In my copy of w3m.el (‘emacs-w3m-version’ => "1.4.483"), there
are three instances of:

 (cancel-timer w3m-idle-images-show-timer)

What you can do is replace those w/:

 (w3m-cancel-timer w3m-idle-images-show-timer)

and add somewhere to w3m.el the definition:

 (defun w3m-cancel-timer (timer)
   "If TIMER is non-nil, pass it to `cancel-timer'."
   (when timer
     (cancel-timer timer)))

If this works after some personal testing, you can then submit
a patch to the w3m.el maintainers (possibly as part of a bug
report that describes the motivation for the patch), and
continue the conversation there.

So, that's what you can do.  Question is: What will you do?

I have had very old, locally-installed w3m package.
After install "blessed-by-debian" package, message about time show
rarely and is not so annoying.  I will try some hints given to me.
