Yes, I think we shouldn't change the current notification methods. Anyhow, all I wanted was to fix only one problem where invoking man on horizontally split windows causes truncated lines. Currently there is no way to redefine the number of columns since the frame-width is hard-coded in the Man-getpage-in-background function. Adding a new option will allow the user to specify the number of columns she wants. -- http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
