Gimp hangs if xsane is installed, with the words "Querying new Plug-ins" and

Removing xsane makes the problem go away.

Have you used xsane before ?

Not on this system (my home machine). I originally installed it as part of trying to configure a scanner I got cheap, but could not get the scanner to work with Linux.


What scanner do you use, if any ?

None. I may have attempted to configure the scanner above, before giving up, but I now cannot remember what I did. Any suggestions on what config files to check here?


When I start up xsane it hangs on "scanning for devices".

Does moving away your ~/.sane help ?

Doesn't make any difference.

I take it you can't reproduce this problem, then?
