Well, to bite my own cheek, I just tried xscanimage and it now works
somehow. But yesterday xscanimage wouldn't work when xsane would. Go
figure.

Yes, I did have a sane installation. Hmmm, That's probably it then. Now I
have to find out how to make iscan not see the other sane stuff.

I installed iscan under /usr/local (with stow, a dandy app that makes
symlinks for me so it's easy to "uninstall").

Thanks for the tips.
