You COULD as a last resort send it the "unconditional kill" signal.
However, if you kill "xsane" it will try to neatly shut down the
scan-device. This takes (in some cases, on my scanner) over half
a minute. IMHO, that's preferable to killing the scanning prgram
forcibly. (It's waiting for the scanner to complete somthing, and
the scanner wont do anything else unless it's finished doing that...)
