Heya, Go look in the Debian packages. The Debian policy requires man pages for files in bin/, so quite a few man pages have been written already. Could the Debian maintainers for the mentioned packages put their man pages in bugzilla, so they get upstream ? BTW, I think most of the GNOME programs could have the same man page, as they don't add a single new command-line parameter over the default Gnome ones. For example, all the games could have the same man page.
