/usr/bin/feh -g 800x450 -B black --title "%n" $picture
$picture is a jpeg. I tried a png also.
I can connect to the raspberry via vnc. When I issue the command the image appears on the HDMI-display that is connected to the raspberry. That is fine.
When I connect from my local machine (Linux Mint 19.2 Tina) using ssh, the command hangs forever. I have to kill it with signal -9. No image is shown. And yes, I use "-X" with my ssh-command. The command "lxterminal" for instance gives me a terminal on my local display. Other commands with graphical output work also as expected.
Before I updated the raspberry, I had OS-Version Stretch with feh 2.18 and Imlib2 1.4.8.
Then it worked fine.
I downloaded several versions of feh to be able to activate debugging and to insert print-statements
to find the problem. I found that the call to "imlib_render_image_on_drawable" in function "gib_imlib_render_image_on_drawable" in the file gib_imlib.c on line 152 hangs and does not return. The arguments are (x = 0, y = 0). I think that's ok.
I tried to compile several versions of imlib2 but had too many errors. So I could not follow the problem into the imlib2 sources. I'm sorry.

What I want to do:
Issue a command to a remote raspberry pi to view an image on my local machine.
The versions I use:
Raspbian: Buster
Kernel: 4.19.118-v7+ #1311 feh: 3.1.3 Imlib2: 1.5.1
The command I use:
/usr/bin/feh -g 800x450 -B black --title "%n" $picture

What is wrong?
