Opening menu and sub-menus generate multiple warnings: feh WARNING: /usr/local/share/feh/images/menubg_default.png - File does not exist The real path to such images is /usr/share/feh/images/... Changing in source feh-2.3/config.mk: PREFIX ?= /usr/local to PREFIX ?= /usr is fixing this problem. But I am not sure that it is a correct way.
PREFIX needs to be passed during the %build step as well (there's a -DPREFIX=$(PREFIX) added to CFLAGS and the install doesn't trigger a recompile when it adds it there). I'll try to get an update out soon.
