There is an obvious bug left in xman after patches 5, 6, and 7
have been applied.  

"Remove this manpage" still fails

	This is a toolkit problem.  The xman code is fine, it is just
	exercising an Xt (implementation) bug. 

There have also been a number of complaints about strange behavior
with -name and -title.

	The way that xman is achieving its multiple top level windows and
	still getting resouces correctly is by having all of its shells be
	popup children of an unrealized parent widget named xman.  This means
	that when you use the -name and -title it changes the name and title
	of this widget (and window).  The -name resource correctly allows 
	the resources be retreived with some other name than "xman".
	Unfortunately for those	of you with window managers that have
	title bars the name the window manager sees for the windows are
	"topBox" and "manualPage" the correct way to change this is to add
	the following lines to your resource file:

xman*topBox.Title:	Top Box Name
xman*manualPage.Title:  Manual Page Name

	This seems to work.  You should also be able to specify these on the
	command line using the -xrm syntax.
