           Summary: konsole should set MANWIDTH for man pages
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6.6
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: p13 g-node com au


Version:           1.6.6 (using KDE 3.5.7, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv

Man page formatting expects 80 column width screens.  Other widths can be given by setting the environment variable MANWIDTH.  

Possibly there is some other mechanism by which man should be notified of the Konsole width, but if nothing else can be found then MANWIDTH should be set everytime the Konsole size or Konsole font size is changed.
