Maybe for your scanner. I have enough room on my 17" display with
1024x768. But this depends on the backend and the font size, I
suppose. But in principle you are right.

That's ok, but to achieve this, the interface must be changed (add box
with sliders) or add separated windows like in xscanimage.

That would be just a workaround.

The resize button won't help, because there is a minimim size and xcam
starts with this minimum size. However, you should be able to move the
whole window to go to the buttons. With enlightenment this would be
done by pressing ALT-left mouse button and moving the whole window.
xcam lacks quite some features (see TODO list). As I don't use it, I
won't add any new features, just fix bugs. So go ahead and include
everything you like. We can include it into SANE in 1.0.6 (because now
it's feature freeze for 1.0.5).
Bye,
Henning
