    Hi, and thank you for previous hints. Meanwhile I realized that I have to
    install the gtk-devel package and I can compile the sane-frontend without
    errors.

    What I highly recommend is to embed a possibility for displaying the actual
    version number(s) of xscanimage and (if possible) the sane-backend,
    because it is currently not possible to find out if the older version
    (from before) or the new version is running.
    (Add a pulldown menu option "help" and place there an option "INFO", which
    shows all interesting data, as version number, date and time of
    compilation,...)

    Also, I am wondering about one point:
    I thought that this version (1.0.4) would support transparency options with
    snapscan. Well, I see nothing which is different to my old SuSE 6.4
    version of xscanimage, if I try it out on my Acer Prisa 620S (without
    transparency). Is this a dynamic option which only appears when the scanner
    HAS transparency, or should this option be alwys visible somewhere but simply
    does not work without transparency?
