New issue 551 by ondrej.g... at gmail.com: XMonad.Prompt.Man.manPrompt uses  
`manpath -g`, -g appears to be an invalid option
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=551

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. import XMonad.Prompt.Man and set up manPrompt
2. activate and use manPrompt
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

manPrompt should provide man pages completion but it shows only CWD  
directories as completion

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Gentoo 64bit Linux kernel 3.7.10-gentoo-r1
xmonad and xmonad contrib v 0.11
standard man v 1.6g (from  http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/man/)

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".

no output from xmonad --recompile, xmonad.hs attached (clean, not the  
source of the problem)

Please provide any additional information below.

The whole problem is the line in getMans
paths <- getCommandOutput "manpath -g 2>/dev/null" `E.catch`

on my system, manpath does not have the -g option so it fails silently and  
does not output any paths, so then the CWD path is examined instead

I don't know when this option was removed, man v 1.6f doesn't have it  
either.
