It looks like gscan2pdf is relying on a session file in the /tmp directory,
which is being purged for some reason (cron, or startup; I am not sure of how
ubuntu handles /tmp).
The link to that nonexistant session file (inside 'ConfigPath') is part of
gscan2pdf's per-user settings file, in the logged-on user's home directory:
~/.gscan2pdf
So, simply deleting this file will allow the app to start, albeit with
the default configuration (minus anything that was saved in that
settings file).
In my office I've just placed a perl script on the desktop of all scan PCs:
#!/usr/bin/perl
exec("rm ~/.gscan2pdf");
This is obviously a temporary solution, and not even a very good one ;)
So, good luck.
