I did try xsane 0.91, and got the following error

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path" "libsmooth.so",

6 of these in sequence followed by 

Segmentation fault.

Just out of interest and necessity combined, do any of the scanner frontends offer a 'descreen' option? I often scan book covers and the cloth used causes a moire pattern that the descreen minimises.
