I see there is more serious problem. With `emacs -Q' in a wide frame,
`M-x man' displays the truncated page, because the default value of
`Man-notify-method' is "friendly" (this is a subjective name and I think
actually this option is not friendly at all!), and `man' runs the
formatting command with the value of `COLUMNS' equal to the frame's width,
but later `man' splits the frame horizontally and displays in a half-width
window the manual formatted to the full frame width. Perhaps `man' should
be able to predict the window's width for `COLUMNS' before running the
formatting command. Do you know a function in window.el that would
predict the width that the current window will have after splitting
horizontally?

A generic interface would be a big plus.
