Doesn't that need a "/".  Well, actually, it seems to work without it.

tells me that it can't find any man page for yum, yet

Where are you using the command line?  In Konsole or in a VT?

Obviously, you can't read man pages in Dolphin because it isn't a
browser.  If you try to open a man page pseudo-URL in Dolphin, it will
be opened in Konqueror.

I presume that you are opening the man pages in Konsole and that works.
  This is strange. :-|  However, it must have something to do with how
the environment variable: "MANPATH" is set -- the MANPATHs set in
"/etc/man.config" are not going to be changed.

You can add the needed MANPATH to "/etc/man.config" and it should fix
the problem.
