I installed ion as the default x-window-manager on
my Debian/GNU Linux 3.0 (woody) system or more precise:
(Linux version 2.2.20 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002
(Debian prerelease)))
Linux acertm 2.2.20 #1 Fri Mar 12 18:48:00 CET 2004 i686 unknown

When I type
$> man x-window-manager
I get the error message:
man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/x-window-manager.1.gz is a dangling symlink
No manual entry for x-window-manager
$>

I think the problem is a wrong target name for the symbolic link
/etc/alternatives/x-window-manager.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/ion.1x.gz
instead of (correct):
/etc/alternatives/x-window-manager.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/ion.1.gz

The following patch should correct the error:
