Anyone know how to tweak Konqueror to open manual pages?
Does it happen to every program you try to see the manpage, or only dpkg?
Did you

in many manual pages to become garbled. It only seems to happen in
text in the "italic" style, i.e. the ".I" macro. It also only happens
to bare minus signs; if they are written as "\-", it wor

Hi,
I have noticed that since upgrading to the new X server I can't get the
manual pages for X. The pages are in the system and mandb says it is processing
the corresponding directories but I can't read them unless I specifically
read the file I want using
man -l /usr/X11R6/man/man1/XFr
