    I'm not so sure. I have only one sane installed and I can work perfectly
    well with xscanimage as root. Xsane, of course, don't works on root. On the
    other hand, if I log in with my
    personal user, I can't use xscanimage and receive, if I try, the following
    message:

    Gtk - CRITICAL**:file gtkmain.c:line 534 (gtk_main_quit): assertion
    'main_loops !=NULL' failed.

    But I can't too use xsane, since I receive the 'x:sane: no device available'
    message.

    So, on the better of the worlds I would like be capable of use on my
    personal user either xscanimage with Gimp and xsane. On a most real worlds,
    I would be satisfied if will be able to work with xscanimage as root, and
    with xsane on my personal user.

    Thanks
    Alvaro
