Package: gscan2pdf When you try to overwrite an existing pdf with gscan2pdf, the "Save" button on the save dialog starts blinking and the system appears to hang until the user presses <Esc>. It's impossible to interact with any of the windows or menus on the desktop while gscan2pdf seems to be in this race state. The file obviously doesn't get saved.
This is in debian squeeze.

It presents a thumbnail view of scanned pages, and permits simple operations such as cropping, rotating and deleting pages. . OCR can be used to recognise text in the scans, and the output embedded in the PDF or DjVu. . PDF conversion is done by PDF::API2. . The resulting document may be saved as a PDF, DjVu, multipage TIFF file, or single page image file.
