<p>
The short answer is yes, for me.<br>
<p>
The long answer is that the Dairiki patch by itself prevents GTK from<br>
compiling correctly on my system (Linux v2.0.30 on i586). I went to<br>
ftp.gimp.org and downloaded all the patches that have been made to gtk+971025<br>
(the Dairiki patch is among these). Then I applied them to GTK in<br>
chronological order. I'm not very experienced with patches, so I don't know<br>
whether this is standard procedure, but it seems the safest thing to do. <br>
Anyway, the end result was that when I applied the other patches before the<br>
Dairiki patch, GTK compiled. Mostly. The makefile had trouble compiling<br>
gtktest.c, but other than that it seemed to work. <br>
<p>
After that, I compiled SANE v0.77, using the Rauch patch, and it does<br>
seem to work. I have here a UMAX Vista-S6 scanner, and up to now xscanimage<br>
has crashed about 9 times out of 10, actually working occasionally, but only<br>
occasionally. I can now run xscanimage, and it hasn't crashed yet. (I cannot<br>
close the preview window once it is open, however.) I get some strange<br>
behavior when running xscanimage from within GIMP, though: after running it<br>
once and exiting, I cannot run it again without exiting GIMP and restarting it. <br>
After one run, the items in the "Acquire Image" submenu are all greyed out and<br>
unavailable.<br>
<p>
This is, however, far better than immediately crashing.<br>
<p>
Oops: I just remembered that I have not yet recompiled the GIMP with<br>
the patched GTK. It is GIMP 0.99.15, and it was compiled with GTK-971025, but<br>
not the patched GTK. If the behavior I have described changes as a result,<br>
I'll send a message about it.<br>
