OK, just FYI:
This only happens on one box - 2 others (laptop, desktop) run fine with
no errors.
If I uninstall xsane, then the Gimp starts just fine. On *this* box it
always hangs. When I do a ps I see this:
kenw 9011 0.0 0.1 14592 2992 ?D11:15
0:00 /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-
We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in

However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and
don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.
