Well, you _can_ get help on xman in xman: choose Options/OpenNewManualPage,
and you'll get manual page for xman.

But you probably wanted to ask: why does Xman fail to show most of the
X manual pages in for exmaple section "(1) User commands".

I suspect this is a bug in xman: most manaul pages of X applications
are in section "1x", not "1". And, choosing Section "(1) User commands"
only selects section "1" manual pages, not section "1x". (the files
they refere to live in a different directory too).

You might want to file a bug agianst xcontrib. (the package that
provides xman).
