Looks like a problem with your GTK installation. I don't think it's
related to SANE.

XSane isn't compiled with gimp support.

Stop! Now you are talking about xscanimage, a different program.

And xscanimage is compiled with gimp support (configure talks about
this)? You looked at the menu "Xtns->acqire image" for xscanimage?

Are you still talking about xscanimage? From what do you know that it
hasn't gimp support? You can check this with "ldd
/usr/local/bin/xscanimage". There should be a line like:
   libgimp-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgimp-1.2.so.0 (0x40020000)

If you get different results with xsane/xscanimage and scanimage
concerning the detection of your scanner: You may have kept you old
installation of SANE in /usr, while the new is in /usr/local, so the
graphical frontends use the old one. Just a guess...

Bye,
