  I have a SPARCstation running Solaris 7 on which I have installed both
  the sane-backends-1.0.4 and sane-frontends-1.0.4 and, as suggested, made
  the the scanner device permissions 660 with group "scanner". I have also
  made scanimage and xscanimage setgid with group scanner as well. scanimage
  is working fine and I have no problems with it.

  However, when I run xscanimage, I get a "warning" message from the GTK+
  library (1.2) telling me that I can't run setgid programs with it (it
  also mentions something about a wrapper program). It then refuses to
  load and subsequently exits. I followed the URL mentioned in the warning
  message, but it didn't really enlighten me.

  I'm sure somebody must have run into this problem before. Does anybody
  have any suggestions on how to get around this problem?

  Thanks in advance,
