the particular makewhatis (or whatever) tool in question seems to
depend on an emphasis hyphen or similar divider and further textual
data thereafter in the NAME section, like in Motif manpages:
.SH "NAME"
\fBXmArrowButton\fP \(em The ArrowButton widget class
I'd simply let some script run over the LessTif manpages which appends
"\(em The XYZ widget class" in each NAME section to fix this.
