I was not able to reproduce this BUG!

I have put my two sets of strace files plus JPG's into my Webspace at

en_US:  (1239 kByte)
<http://freenet-homepage.de/linux4michelle/xman/strace_1.tar.bz2>

de_DE.UTF-8:  (1258 kByte)
<http://freenet-homepage.de/linux4michelle/xman/strace_2.tar.bz2>

I had a mess on my Devel-Station and reinstalled the WHOLE system from
scratch and I have not this error.

But (!!!) if I call xman from the "Debian Menu" or with a button like

----[ '/home/michelle.konzack/.fvwm/buttons/Button_Help' ]-------------
(1x1, \
 Icon       32x32.xman.1.png, \
 ActiveIcon 32x32.xman.1.png, \
 PressIcon  32x32.xman.1.png, \
 Action     (Mouse 1) 'Exec xman -pagesize 940x661+0+76 -notopbox', \
 Action     (Mouse 2) Popup Button_menu_help, \
 Action     (Mouse 3) Popup Manpages, \
)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I get the same error.  It show me only "No match" all the time.

It seems, that it is a BIG difference if called from the
"Debian Menu"/FvwmButton OR in a XTerm where it is working.

Please note:  If I call it with

    strace -o xman.strace -f xman -notopbox

inside an Xterm I get a bunch of STRACE files, but called
from the menu produce only one.
