Warning about line break in man page

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

Hi,

When preparing a package for inclusion in Ubuntu and Debian, I came across a trivial error in the generated manpage. I only noticed this as lintian, a qa tool run against Debian packages, issues a warning about it. On one line there's a list of categories without any spaces so man thinks it is all one string and doesn't know how to break the line.

To test this for yourself you can use the following command:

     LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l /usr/share/man/man3/Gtk2\:\:AppIndicator.3pm.gz >/dev/null

I'll look into it after my holidays!
