Thank you Hew: As I wrote in my previous message, I run it as root because it detected my scanner previously this way, and I was in a hurry. After reinstalling XSane and Kooka I could not login to my kde user account due to DCOPserver not working properly (and root password misteriously changed, whoa!). I had to reset the root password then create a new user and overwrite the /home/user .IC*,.DCOP* files with the new user's ones, followed by a chown user.user on the files, then removinv the dumb user. Afterwards I could login to my user account and kooka detected my scanner correctly.
