Hi.
I recently upgraded to a 2.4.2 kernel (the best available to me on CD -
I only have a 33.6 modem and didn'T want to download the whole kernel
tree.)  Afterwards, I found that there were some improvements to the
Mustek Sane driver so I installed 1.05 and the newest update from
Henning.  Worked just fine, so I thought I might as well upgrade Xsane
while I was at it.  I was using 0.59.  Version 0.79 seemed to compile
just fine, but gave a seg fault at start up.  I uninstalled it and tried
the 0.78 version since it was listed as the last known stable version. 
Seg fault again.  I reinstalled 0.79, and noticed that it crashed when
trying to display the XSane logo in the preview box.  I removed the file
/usr/local/share/sane/xsane/xsane-startimage, and Xsane started and ran
fine.  I put it back, and then checked for doubled libraries from Sane,
and GTK as suggested in the Problems readme.  I replaced my compiler and
recompiled since I had been using egcs.  Still seg fault.  Now I have
found an indication that I might need to upgrade from gtk 1.2.3 to at
least gtk 1.2.5.  
Before I just go and do this (and possibly break some other gtk
dependent program) I would like to ask if I really need to replace the
GTK library or have I missed something else.  I am tired of shooting in
the dark, and would appreciate a little expert advice.
