Apropos

[Martin Lüthi]

Symptoms:

Not really a bug, but quite annoying...

When I try to get information with the M-x apropos command I get a
nice list of variables / functions. Then I try to explore them, but
after clicking on one of them, the *apropos* buffer gets replaced with
a buffer describing the variable. Even clicking the [back] button does
not bring me back to the list of variables, and I have to start from
scratch. 

It would also be very nice to be able to leave the buffer describing
the variable with [q] (like in Info) in addition to the [back] button.

Thanks! Martin
