1)

I see a lot of gtk problems:

Viewer, changing between Halftone and Lineart, and changing Halftone
pattern in advanced options. Keeps running though.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkbox.c: line 368 (gtk_box_pack_end): assertion `child != NULL' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1427 (gtk_widget_show): assertion `widget != NULL' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkspinbutton.c: line 1370 (gtk_spin_button_new): assertion `digits < 6' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3786 (gtk_widget_set_usize): assertion `widget != NULL' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktooltips.c: line 348 (gtk_tooltips_set_tip): assertion `widget != NULL' failed.

Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkSpinButton'

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkspinbutton.c: line 1515 (gtk_spin_button_set_wrap): assertion `spin_button != NULL' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkbox.c: line 368 (gtk_box_pack_end): assertion `child != NULL' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3310 (gtk_widget_set_sensitive): assertion `widget != NULL' failed.

2) Changing a few times between Halftone and Lineart makes the
Brightness and Contrast sliders in the standard options window
disappear permanently when set to Lineart (the autothreshold is still
there). I have observed this with previous versions of xsane as well.

3) I have a huge conceptional problem with scanning 2-colour images and
applying a threshold. There isn't anywhere to set a threshold value.
The scanning itself would have to be done at grayscale of course. This
seems a basic operation to me and I can't see why xsane doesn't seem to
support it, considering many advanced features are there. The scanner
supports grayscale.

Thanks for a marvellous program!
