xman doesn't work.  It looks for man pages by first searching MANPATH
if it's there, /usr/man if it's there, and /etc/man.conf if it's there.
However, on OS X, MANPATH isn't normally defined by any shell scripts,
/usr/man doesn't exist, and /etc/man.conf doesn't exist (although the
directory /etc/manpath.config does exist).  The best solution I can
think of is to create my own ~/.xinitrc and define MANPATH before
launching quartz-wm.  But I'm open to other ideas.  Thoughts?

This bug was fixed in the xfree86 sources 5 months ago. So it should go away as soon as Apple pick up a contemporary source base.
