This "$-bar" is actually the left fringe, displaying the glyph standing for line truncation. This glyph is defined by the currently used display-table. So you have two options: either hide the fringe. Fringes are belonging to windows (not to buffers), so hiding them generally is maybe not what you want. To change the glyph, either set `buffer-display-table' for w3m buffers if you want to modify the glyph only for w3m buffers. To change this globally, you want something like (set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 0 ?\ ) which would set the glyph to the space character. But note that the glyph indicating line truncation in the right fringe is the same one. See (info "(elisp) Character Display") and (info "(elisp) Active Display Table") where the background is explained. Regards, Michael.
