shift-pageup / shift-pagedown scrolls in a gnome-terminal.

The unshifted pageup / pagedown key is sent to the 
pseudo terminal, and it's up to the application
currently running on the terminal to do something
with the pageup / pagedown keys.  E.g. "less" should
scroll the file when it receives pageup / pagedown.

Probably because "man" uses "more" as pager.

"more" ignores the arrow keys (and pageup / down).
With "less" as pager it should start to scroll when
you press the arrow keys.

You may wan't to set the evironment variable
PAGER=less
