Xman does not seem to be reading /etc/man.config nor
 /usr/share/misc/man.conf.  I had notice the difference, so I copied
/usr/share/misc/man.conf into /etc/man.config and have also put the -c
option in both files with no difference in the xman behavior. To be more
precise I am not sure if it reads the file for obtaining the MANPATH,
but in my case it does not make a difference because the MANPATH
environment variable is correct.
