  I have never seen this problem. I have just tested this with gtk 1.2.8
  -> no problem. Maybe you have a modified version of GTK?

  But why do you want to set the gid bit? Can't you just add all users
  who are allowed to scan to the group "scanner"? Or am I missing
  something?

  Another solution is to use saned.

  As you are using a somewhat exotic platform/os (at least compared to
  Linix/i386 :-), could you please have a look at
  http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-support.html and tell us which
  compiler was used and if everything that's in the columns work.

  It would be even nicer if you could do the same after SANE 1.0.5 is
  released :-)

  Bye,
  Henning
