Thanks, that makes sense.  I can now get a scan started by hitting change
document and then start.  But, I seem to need a stop button.  Hitting
cancel in either xsane or xscanimage results in a corrupt image file (xsane
actually cleans up the tmp file if you hit cancle, I had to copy it out of
/tmp).  Hitting cancel on the from of the v40 results in xsane or
xscanimage waiting forever.  Am I missing something?
