Hi, With regards to your xman problem, have you checked the permissions of /dev/null?
I had exactly the same problem and messages from xman with an installation of Slackware - it was because /dev/null only had root permissions. I had to chmod it so that everybody could use /dev/null. This solved the xman problem. Perhaps this is your problem with Xman, but perhaps not. Just an idea.
