Hello, I use x11-terms/blackbox from Loatchi overlay and it says that VTE is built without Sixel. 

I can't find a use flag in gui-libs/vte which can enable this experimental feature.

Looks like this is the upstream meson option:

option(
  'sixel',
  type: 'boolean',
  value: false,
  description: 'Enable SIXEL support',
)

So we'd just need to add a USE flag for this. Feel free to attach a git am'able patch or make a pull request on Github.

It got yanked from 0.72.2: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/commit/59d1403c455801dbbb64dadb55478bb0e5e96966.

I would close this then until upstream fixes its support :/
