default man path

Bug Description

The default path where xman searches for manpages is /usr/man (at least the man 1 xman says so):
"If no MANPATH is found then the directory is /usr/man is searched on POSIX systems."

This results in this error when running xman without parameters:
"Xman Error: No manual pages found."

We all know that man pages should be in /usr/share/man on Debian/Ubuntu/... so please update the default path where xman looks for man pages.
