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.
