Thanks very much, Henning, for your helpful lecture [no offence!!]. I have
carefully noted all you have to say. BTW, you have no need to apologise for
your English - which is better than excellent!

I've given up on the desktop 'Scanner' icon - as no-one seems able to
provide a solution to the 'gamma-table' problem - and am pursuing XSane.
I'll see how I get on with that.

An idle thought: "As I'm an unashamed, lazy 'icon-clicker' - rather than a
'command-line-freak' [!!!], when I do get XSane working (which I am
confident I shall), it would be nice if I could 'convert' the 'Scanner' icon
on my desktop to an 'XSane' icon - then I can call up XSane more easily -
rather than having to go thru the tedious business of raising a shell, then
typing a command".

I know that this is absolute heresy to the Linux community, and I shall be
abused - if not 'drummed-out [!!!]

Is this possible? Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Best

Fred
