As you can see all the "X" client programs are listed in "mann" and not "man1".
This is not xman's fault, it is doing what it was told to, it is the fault
of our manual page directory structure. Have you ever tried to use xman when
program C system calls (Is that is section 2 or 3 ????) it is a real pain.
The proper fix is to go through our manual directories and do a restructure
so that they are devided into proper sections. "~" files are listed by xman
too, another annoyance of unclean manual directories.
