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,

3794 stat64("/usr/share/man", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

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...
