That has apparently taken a vacation here. Humm, I thought I had that working, but its apparently an older version of that plugin, xsane asks me to accept the license, then scans, but doesn't find any devices. xsane itself runs just fine from an applet icon. Or there are rpm leftovers of xsane. Yup, it says its 0.84, and I have the 0.91 tarballs installed. ^%%$%$ up2date, I thought I had it trained, but its a forgetfull puppy. But rpm -qa|grep xsane comes up blank so I cannot blame it on up2date. Where is that puppy?, I'll nuke it and replace it with the lastest xsane-0.91 pluggin. I assume its still sitting in the src dir for xsane-0.91.
