Xman is OLD stuff!  I remember compiling it for my old
Slack 3 system with FVWM... It apparently still comes
with Slackware -- in the xman.tgz package.  Check the
comp.os.X.sources newsgroup archives... I can't find 
it right now.  The Slack binary will probably work for
you, if you'd like.

tkman is also suggested.  It depends on TK, of course. To
print from tkman, choose "Kill Trees" from the "Occasionals"
menu.  Heh.

GMan is a Gnome man page viewer...

If you don't, consider looking at the help viewer that comes
with KDE or Gnome.  At the very least, KDE's Help Viewer can
read man pages.  The url looks a little like:
  man:(index)

I expect that Gnome has one just like it, but I'm not sure.
