I hink, this has nothing to do with the pathes since:

----8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
3794  stat64("/home/michelle.konzack/man", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0775, st_size=1024, ...}) = 0
3794  stat64("/usr/share/man", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
3794  stat64("/usr/X11R6/man", 0xbfffee4c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
3794  stat64("/usr/man", 0xbfffee4c)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
3794  stat64("/usr/X11R6/man", 0xbfffee4c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
3794  stat64("/usr/local/man", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISGID|0775, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
3794  stat64("/usr/man", 0xbfffee6c)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

<snip>

3794  write(1, "ls: nichts passendes.\n", 22) = 22
3793  <... read resumed> "ls: nichts passendes.\n", 4096) = 22
----8<-----------------------------------------------------------------

which mean, /usr/share/man IS searched and /usr/man at last.

This happen , if xman is called from the "Debian menu" or a
Window Manager button, but NOT if called inside an Xterm.  OopS!!!!

This has nothing to do with the pathes...
