GUI for the man system

Gman is a user-friendly graphical front end for the man system mostly designed for the new users of GNU/Linux. It can help a newbie find specific information or browse other man pages. It is particularly useful as a replacement for xman. Gman's most basic job is to build a database for all the man pages and display them (or part of them) as a list. When the user decides to read a specific man page, gman will launch a xterm window and call the traditional man system to display the man page in the window.
