Indeed, I can detect and scan as root, but xsane terminates when I try
to start it as normal user.

Well, that documentation says to only start the saned when the default
configuration works fine, if you take a look at my other thread
([sane-devel] edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, what next?) you'll see sane
doesn't work as it's supposed as root either...

But I'll try this as soon as it does.
