It's not xsane that's the problem, it's sane, which xsane uses. Sane is composed of the sane-backend, which provides the drivers for the various supported scanners; and sane-frontend, which provides the interface between sane and the apps that use it, like gimp, xsane, kooka, and pretty much anything else that might use a scanner. There are only 2 executables, sane-config and sane-find-scanner. But there are some 62 libraries making up the backend alone. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
