Please read the docs. It is only a problem if you use needs=X11. In that
case, yes, people will need a x11 web browser to view howtos.
In another life, I've seen things such as needs=dwww for html documentation.
What we could do is to add a line in each WM we have for the menu-method
file between supported an endsupported, to support these kind of dwww.
OK. May be too much work for now, but should absolutely be supported for
our next releases

Nope, a wrapper like this one is required:
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape ] ;
netscape $@
elsif [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/kfm ] ;
kfm $@
elsif ...
lynx $@
else
cat $@ | sed -e 's/<[^>]>//g' | less
fi
Sorry, if the syntax is buggy, I guess you got the idea.

See wrapper above.
