seahorse-agent.1:

 >     seahorse-agent [ OPTION... ]

The Solaris manpage style guide suggests that the options be spelled
out.  See other manpages for examples.

 >     This is the agent program for seahorse which  keeps  a  tem-
 >     porary  secure  storage  of your pass phrases. It also works
 >     with the SSH agent to prompt you for SSH passphrases.

It isn't clear what a "temporary secure storage of your pass phrases"
really means.  It would be good to provide more detail.  What is
meant by "keep".  Where is it stored, for example.

 >          Print variables in for a C type shell.

This is bad grammar.  I'd remove the word "in".  What variables are
printed?

 >          Don't try to make sure requests only come  from  the  X
 >          display on which seahorse-agent was started.

The Solaris manpage style guide suggests that you do not use 
contractions (such as Don't or can't or won't) in manpages.
I would say "Do not" instead of "Don't".

Also, "Do not try to make sure" is not very good English.  I would
say "Do not make sure that requests..."

 >           Display variables instead of editing gpg.conf.

What variables?

 >  Additional options
 >     In addition, the usual GTK+ and GNOME command  line  options
 >     apply. See the output of --help for details.

All other GNOME manpages refer to "gnome-std-options" instead of
providing the above.  I'd update to make this more similar to
our other manpages.  Refer to "man totem" for an example.

 > SEE ALSO
 >     seahorse-tool(1), seahorse-daemon(1)

I'd add seahorse(1)

seahorse-tool.1:

 >  Help options
 >  Application options

No other manpages separate options like this.  Instead we normally
just put the options in alphabetical order.

 >     -i FILE, --import FILE

On Solaris, we use lower case for options so this should be:

-i <replaceable>file</replaceable>,
--import <replaceable>file</replaceable>

 >          Import keys from the FILE.

This should also be <replaceable>file</replaceable>.

Ditto for other options.

 >     -T, --uri-list
 >          Read list of URIs on standard in.

What is this used for.  Perhaps an example in the EXAMPLES section
would clarify.

 >  Additional options
 >     In addition, the usual GTK+ and GNOME command  line  options
 >     apply. See the output of --help for details.

Again, we should refer to gnome-std-options.

 > VERSION
 >     This man page describes seahorse version 0.9.

I'd remove this section.

 > SEE ALSO
 >     seahorse-daemon(1)

I'd add seahorse(1) and seahorse-agent(1).
