This is caused by image name case sensitive problem. In chmsee, displaying 
images is
totally controlled by mozilla gecko render.

To display this kind of book's images, you can correct it by hand.
e.g. cd ~/.chmsee/bookshelf/ec7720... && mv images Images

According to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986, URI is not necessarily all 
case-insensitive. The schema and the host is case-insensitive, but the rest is 
supposed to be case-sensitive unless the schema explicitly defines it. As we 
are using Linux and the pages chmsee displays are under file schema, I suppose 
the URI ARE case-sensitive. Unfortunately, CHM is a file format created and 
supposed to be viewed in Windows, chances of name collisions in only 
capitalization is slim. Therefore, I suggest extract all files in lowercase 
filenames and parse the html files accordingly.

As Gecko embedding only send notify message about open-uri and uri-opened, 
chmsee has no way to interrupt Gecko rendering an html page. Lower the filename 
case can not solve this kind of image issue. 

Another problem is that some chmfiles contain case sensitive file. I 
encountered a chmfile, after extracting, there were two different files:  
"index.html" used for homepage and "Index.html" used for index in the same 
folder.
