Meanwhile I found out, how to crash and how to cure it:
xscanimage crashes, if the "Scan" button is pressed, after a scan is
completed, but before the gimp has drawn the picture completely and (or?)
the ADF has stopped.
Then, regardless how often you restart xscanimage, it has the value 0.0
in both the "Top left" and the "Bottom right" corner of the scan area,
which cannot be changed until all papers are taken out of the sheet
feeder. After this everything is normal again.
Well, if I know this, I can live with it.
