1) The little dialog box for opening man pages seems to always come up at the same spot, no matter where you move it, and is always hidden behind the man pages I open from the command line.
2) I've never had any success configuring the man path for the ManOpen application (using the preference dialog). I always have to resort to setting my manpath in the shell for this to work. Why allow the user to add man paths in the application, if they don't help the application find anything after all?
