If I launch xman from an xterm, all is well; but if I set up an xman launch as a button or menu item in my window manager, I do not get my x program manual entries. Also, if I start xman from ".xinitrc" or ".xsession", I do not get the x program manual entries. How can I get the MANPATH environment variable to be read properly? Thanks in advance. -- Glenn P.
